Abstract
4-Isopropenyl-1-methylcyclohexene undergoes hydrogenation over ZrO2 and ThO2 to 4-isopropyl-1-methylcyclohexene, while it undergoes mainly dehydrogenation over MgO, CaO, and La2O3 to 1-isopropyl-4-methylbenzene. The activity variation of catalysts with pretreatment temperature and the reaction of 4-isopropyl-1-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene suggest that selectivity is determined by relative activity for hydrogenation to that for double bond isomerization.
