Petrochemicals cyclic compounds

Y.C. Jang and H.K. Sung, Method for preparing a homo-and co-poly-mers by polymerization of cyclic olefin compounds using fluorine-containing aromatic hydrocarbon compound as catalyst activator, US Patent 6998450, assigned to Korea Kumho Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (Seoul, KR), February 14,2006. 

Unlike most other samples that have to be analysed, petrochemical samples generally contain a limited number of classes of compounds, notably, alkanes, alkenes, cyclic alkanes, and aromatics with a different number of fused rings. The sample dimensionality therefore is rather limited (see below). The absolute number of compounds, however, is not only tremendous, but they all need to be analysed. In other words, the matrix itself is the goal of the analysis. So instead of looking for the needle in the haystack, the haystack itself needs to be characterised. In that respect, it is not too surprising that GCxGC from the conception of the technique on, has been developed using petrochemical samples as a subject [1,2]. 

The ozonolysis of acyclic alkenes including terpenes is reviewed in Ref. [85]. The role of ozonolysis as ecological process for the selective and specialized oxidation of petrochemical olefins and cyclic alkenes, for the manufacture of biologically active substances and normal organic compounds is thoroughly discussed in Ref. [86],...
