The disproportionation of hydrogen in 3-carene takes place with the formation of compounds of the 1,1,4-trimethylcycloheptane series.The proposed reaction mechanism involves dehydration of the 2-carene to 2,4-caradiene, which exists in a rapid tautomeric equilibrium with 3,7,7-trimethyl-1,3,5-cycloheptatriene.This gives rise to the appearance of compounds with a seven-membered ring in the reaction product.
