Km. Alimardanov et al., OXIDATIVE DEHYDRODISPROPORTIONATION OF ETHYLCYCLOHEXANE ON MODIFIED FORMS OF Y-ZEOLITE, Petroleum chemistry (1991), 37(6), 1997, pp. 515-524
A study has been made of the oxydehydrodisproportionation of ethylcycl
ohexane to xylene isomers in the presence of decationized zeolite NaY
and its modified forms by mono- and multicomponent oxide systems. It h
as been established that disproportionation of ethylcyclohexane procee
ds via intermediate stages of interaction of alicyclic radicals with t
he subsequent dehydrogenation of the formed dimethylcyclohexane isomer
s and their unsaturated analogues. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
