The selective hydrogenation of cyclic and acyclic dienes to monoolefins occurs under very mild conditions, in the presence of silica-supported PAMAM-Pd complexes. The activity and selectivity of this reaction is sensitive to the dendrimer structure. These dendritic complexes display excellent recycle properties, retaining activity for up to eight recycles.
CYCLIZATION OF C7-ALKANES OVER Pt BLACK CATALYST

C6-and C5-cyclization of heptane isomers (and also, olefin formation as a related process) over Pt-black have been studied in pulse and circulation systems.Hydrogendeficient conditions favour aromatization, via presumably terminal olefins.C5-Cyclization in the presence of more hydrogen is accompanied by internal olefin formation.Relative reactivities of all heptane isomers have been measured; this shows that cyclization is easier between terminal methyl groups.Optimum hydrogen pressures for both types of cyclization have been determined (and compared with hydrogenolysis, too).Earlier mechanism suggestion for aromatization and cyclopentane formation have been confirmed; the distinction between two types of bond shift mechanisms producing aromatics (from substituted pentanes) and saturated isomers, respectively, has recieved additional support facilitating the identification of these two reactions with mechanisms proposed in the literature.
