Abstract Different catalytic reactions of methylcyclohexane MCH are performed depending on the nature of the catalytic active site (s) and experimental conditions. Ring contraction RC catalytic processes, producing dimethylcyclopenanes DMCP's of high octane numbers as compared to MCH are catalysed by acidic function of zeolites systems such as HY. Better activity, selectivity and stability concerning these RC reactions were obtained using Pt/HY catalyst. At higher reaction temperature, dehydrogenation of MCH to toluene and hydrocracking reactions are catalyzed by Pt. Comparable catalytic behavior is obtained using a bifunctional (metal-acid) MoO2-x(OH)y/TiO2 (MoTi) system. Different metallic character strength is observed following the suppression of the Br?nsted acid MoOH function(s) to MoO2-x(OA)y/TiO2 (A = Na, K, Rb) by the addition of small amount of alkali metal A. Rubidium addition seems to be the most performant in the dehydrogenation of MCH to toluene. The metallic functions in MoTi and modified AMoTi are not efficient for RO in MCP. In-situ characterization of the different oxidation states of Mo at different experimental conditions were conducted using in-situ XPS-UPS techniques.

Mechanistic aspects of Ziegler-Natta olefin insertion, which include catalyst/cocatalyst interactions, chain propagation, and chain termination, have been examined for systems which model the Cp2Ti(Cl)R/RAlCl2 and Cp2Ti(Cl)R/MgX2 catalyst complexes.The reaction of (2-butyl-6-hepten-1-yl)titanocene chloride with (2-propyl-6-hepten-1-yl)aluminum dichloride:diethyl etherate produced 78percent cyclization of the titanocene ligand, while less than 2percent of the ligand originating on aluminum cyclized.In a complementary experiment, the reaction of (2-propyl-6-hepten-1-yl)titanocene chloride and (2-butyl-6-hepten-1-yl)aluminum dichloride:diethyl etherate again produced only intramolecular insertion of the titanium ligand (58percent).Based on these results, equilibretion of ligands through transmetallation between titanium and aluminum did not occur under these reaction conditions, and selective insertion into the titanium-carbon bond was confirmed for this process.Similarly, ligand cyclization with Cp2Ti(Cl)R/MgX2 also occurred through insertion into the titanium-carbon bond.The product distribution generated by the MgX2 was highly solvent dependent.Cyclization in CH2Cl2 was very efficient, while reaction in toluene generated numerous products.Included in the toluene reaction mixture were compounds that resulted from ligand transposition/chain transfer of the titanium ligand.

Relative and absolute kinetic data have been determined for ring closure of methyl-substituted hex-5-enyl radicals: 2-methyl-(10a), 3-methyl-(4a), 4-methyl-(5a), 2,2-dimethyl-(10c), 3,3-dimethyl-(4c) and 4,4-dimethyl-hex-5-enyl (5c) radicals, generated by interaction of tributylstannane with the corresponding bromides (1a)-(3a) and (1c)-(3c).Each radical undergoes regiospecific or highly regioselective 1,5-cyclization more rapidly than does the unsubstituted radical (4d).The rate enhancements, which arise mainly from lowering of the activation energy, can be rationalized in terms of the gem-dimethyl effect. 1,5-Ring closures of monosubstituted species are stereoselective: 2-methyl- and 4-methyl-hex-5-enyl radicals (10a) and (5a) give mainly trans products, whereas 3-methylhex-4-enyl radical gives mainly the cis.This behaviour reflects the effect of the substituent on the stabilities of cyclic transition complexes in chair-like conformations.Ring closure of 2,2-dimethylpent-4-enyl radical or of 3,3-dimethylpent-4-enyl radical (19) could not be detected.
