Identification of 1,2,2,5-Tetramethyltetralin and 1,2,2,5,6-Pentamethyltetralin as Racemates in Petroleum
1,2,2,5-Tetramethyltetralin and 1,2,2,5,6-pentamethyltetralin have been synthesized and identified as racemates in crude oil and are proposed from dehydrogenation experiments as intermediates in the formation of alkylnaphthalenes in crude oil.
