Conversion of cycloheptatriene into benzene on a Re2O7–Al2O3 dismutation catalyst. Formation and reactivity of adsorbed methylenes

Abstract

Cycloheptatriene reacts readily in the presence of ethylene at >403 K on Re2O7–Al2O3 to give mainly benzene and a mixture of C1 to C4 products; the reaction provides good evidence for the participation of metallocycles and adsorbed methylenes in conversions of ethylene at these temperature on dismutation catalysts.
