Abstract

Hydroaromatic compounds may be aromatized in liquid phase in benzene with nickel, platinum or palladium catalysts, the benzene serving as hydrogen acceptor.'P2 While gem or angular alkyls are rather stable under the conditions required for simple dehydrogenation, compounds carrying such substituents may be aromatized, with the elimination or migration of alkyl gro~ ps.~ The present paper is primarily concerned with the behavior of eleven ...
