Abstract
Abstract Phenylcyclohexane has been obtained in high yield from the hydrogenation of benzene over a variety of supported transition metal catalysts. Both acidity and hydrogenation activity are necessary catalyst properties. Cyclohexene is believed to be a key intermediate which migrates from metal hydrogenation sites to acid sites where subsequent alkylation of benzene occurs.
