(Chemical Equation Presented) Treatment of alkyl halides, including tertiary alkyl bromides, with cyclopentadienylmagnesium bromide in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper(II) triflate yielded the corresponding cyclopentadienylated products in high yields. The following hydrogenation of the products provided alkyl-substituted cyclopentanes.

Isomerization and hydrocracking of a mixture of 1-cyclohexyloctane and dodecane were performed on Pt/H-ZSM-22 in a three-phase Robinson Mahoney reactor with complete internal mixing (T = 523-543 K, P=7-8 MPa, H2/HC =5). The reaction products from 1-cyclohexyloctane were analyzed in detail and compared with those obtained in the absence of dodecane in a fixed-bed vapor-phase reactor (T = 460 K, P = 0.45 MPa, H2/HC = 450). In the presence of dodecane, the main reaction pathway involved contraction of the six-membered ring to a five-membered ring with concomitant elongation of the octyl chain by one carbon. Subsequently, the nonyl chain underwent methyl branching at carbon positions far from the ring. Methyl branching rearrangements of the cyclohexane ring of 1-cyclohexyloctane were suppressed in the presence of dodecane. In the reaction product fraction of heptylmethylcyclohexanes, all cis-trans and positional isomers were formed except the 1,1'-heptylmethylcyclohexane isomer. The isomer distributions were explained with pore mouth and key-lock catalysis. Pt/H-ZSM-22 did not favor the paring reaction. The distribution of cracked products, and especially the abundant formation of alkylcyclopentanes, was in agreement with cracking through β-scission in the chain rather than by ring dealkylation typical of the paring reaction. Ring opening in 1-cyclohexyloctane and its isomers is a less important side reaction.
