Abstract:Reactions of 1,1,3,3-tetramethylcyclobutane (TMCBf-hydrogen mixtures on evaporated metal films have shown that both ring scission to 2,2,4trimethylpentane (TMP) and ring enlargement to 1,1,3-trirnethylcyclopentane (TMCP) are dominant on sintered platinum films, while ring scission to TMP predominates on sintered palladium and on unsintered molybdenum films. Unsintered tantalum and molybdenum films gave a large production of iC, hydrocarbon, particularly above ca. 500 K : ring enlargement was a minor reaction f… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
