Usage

General Description

1,2,4-Trimethylcyclohexane is a colorless liquid compound with a mildly sweet odor. It is a cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon, consisting of a cyclohexane ring with three methyl groups attached at the 1, 2, and 4 positions. 1,2,4-TRIMETHYLCYCLOHEXANE is mainly used as a solvent in various industries, including the formulation of adhesives, paints, and coatings. Its low volatility and excellent solvency make it a preferred choice for applications requiring a stable, non-reactive solvent. Additionally, 1,2,4-Trimethylcyclohexane is also utilized in the production of certain chemicals and as a component in fragrance formulations. However, it is important to handle this compound with care as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested and may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.

METHODS FOR SELECTIVELY HYDROGENATING SUBSTITUTED ARENES WITH SUPPORTED ORGANOMETALLIC CATALYSTS

Methods for selectively hydrogenating substituted arenes with a supported organometallic hydrogenating catalyst are provided. An exemplary method includes contacting a substituted arene-containing reaction stream with hydrogen in the presence of a supported organometallic hydrogenating catalyst under reaction conditions effective to selectively hydrogenate the substituted arenes to the cis isomer with high selectivity. In this method, the supported organometallic hydrogenating catalyst includes a catalytically active organometallic species and a Br?nsted acidic sulfated metal oxide support.

METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF NON-AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS

The invention relates to a method for the production of long-chain, branched-chain and/or cyclic hydrocarbons. A low molecular weight alkyl halide and a fused salt are firstly prepared. The fused salt contains an electrophilic compound and a reducing agent and is free from oxygen and oxygen compounds. The alkyl halide is then brought into contact with the fused salt such that long-chain, branched-chain and/or cyclic hydrocarbons are formed in the fused salt. The hydrocarbons formed in the fused salt are drawn off and can subsequently be separated from unreacted starting materials. By means of the above method, hydrogen can be produced during the reaction of the low molecular weight alkyl halide. The risk of oxidation of the alkane produced to give carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide is avoided by means of the reducing conditions in the fused salt. The product distribution can be controlled by means of suitable selection of the composition of the fused salt. Highly-branched hydrocarbons are produced with the preferred application of a sodium chloroaluminate fused salt.

Oxidative transformations of cyclohexane, methylcyclopentane, and pentane on treatment with superelectrophiles based on polyhalomethane and aluminum halides

Cyclohexane and methylcyclopentane dimerize into dimethyldecalins on treatment with superelectrophilic systems containing polyhalomethanes (CBr4, CCl4, CHCl3) and aluminum halides (AlBr3, AlCl3). At 2
