Mechanism of dehydrocyclization

Another approach to the mechanisms of dehydrocyclization was the comparative study of the reactions of 2,2,3-trimethylpentane (1), 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (2) and 2,2,4,4-tetramethylpentane (3) (Scheme 43) on platinum and palladium films (70). On palladium, dehydrocyclization is...
