Intermediates in the Methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) Reaction: A Gas Phase Study of the Unimolecular Reactivity of Multiply Methylated Benzenium Cations

Abstract: In order to reach a deeper insight into the reaction mechanism of the zeolite catalyzed methanol to hydrocarbons reaction (MTH), the proposed reaction intermediates, i.e., a series of multiply methyl-substituted benzenium ions has been generated in the gas phase by chemical ionization. The fragmentations of the corresponding long-lived (metastable) ions have been investigated. While expulsion of H 2 dominates for the lower homologues, elimination of methane dominates for the higher homologues, accompanied by i… Show more

“…In line with the paring mechanism (Scheme 1), the eliminated propene contained as ingle 13 C atom that originated from aH eptaMB + + ring-carbon atom. Similarly,e liminated ethenec ontained as ingle 13 Ca tom. Although this isotoped istribution is consistent with ar ing expansion/ contraction mechanism,e thene is not commonly associated with the paringm echanism.…”

“…With the exception of pentene, the fragments observedw eret he same as observedp reviously by Svelle et al [13b] with unlabelled reactants. The number of 13 Ca toms in each eliminated alkene is also showni nF igure 1. In line with the paring mechanism (Scheme 1), the eliminated propene contained as ingle 13 C atom that originated from aH eptaMB + + ring-carbon atom.…”
