Vapour phase catalytic transformations of terpene hydrocarbons in the C10H16 series. III. Dehydrogenation of Δ3-carene over modified chromia and chromia–alumina catalysts

Abstract: The vapour phase dehydrogenation of 3-carene has been studied over chromia, chromia–alumina, chromia doped with potassium, and chromia–alumina doped with potassium and fluoride ions. Addition of potassium to chromia and chromia–alumina up to 1% by weight does not significantly affect the overall conversion of 3-carene whereas it increases its dehydrogenation to p- and m-cymenes. Potassium ions above 1% lower both the total conversion and dehydrogenation of 3-carene to cymenes. The ratio of p- to m-cymene over … Show more

“…The high heat over reduced chromia may be explained if we assume that the exposed Cr(I1) ions, being d4 systems, favour Jahn-Teller distortion of their surroundings so that there are empty coordination sites on which strong adsorption of pyridine can take place. Similar reduction in the activity of reduced chro~nia by carbon monoxide is also reported (12).…”

“…Reduced chromia when pretreated with CO, and also when CO is passed along with 3-carene si~nultaneously, the cymene ratio is found to be reduced (12). Clark et 01.…”

“…Interestingly, 2-carene 9 is widely found in nature albeit in small concentrations. The isolation of 9 from essential oils, or from reaction mixtures after 3-carene 8 isomerization, is difficult, making 9 expensive and therefore not attractive for use in organic synthesis [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. Recently, we developed a method for the isomerization of readily available 3-carene 8 to 2-carene 9 using montmorillonite clays as a catalyst [ 30 ].…”

“…Hydrogen over chromium oxide is easily desorbed (10) and therefore its presence on the surface of the catalyst does not seriously affect the conversion of 3-carene. It is presumed that hydrogen reduces the unsaturated compounds that precede the formation of polymers and of coke which would deposit on the active centers of the catalyst as in an earlier scheme (5). On suppressing the formation of polymers and coke, the formation of cymenes goes up.…”
