Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
A PROCESS FOR DEHYDROGENATING AN UNSATURATED BICYCLIC TERPENE CONTAINING A 6-MEMBERED CARBON ATOM RING AND A RING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF 3 AND 4MEMBERED CARBON ATOM RINGS WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING SAID BICYCLIC TERPENE WITH A CATALYST SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ALKALI METALS AND THEIR HYDRIDES IN THE PRESENCE OF A POLYNUCLEAR AROMATIC HYDROCARBON TO FORM AROMATIC COMPOUNDS.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
61 words
A PROCESS FOR DEHYDROGENATING AN UNSATURATED BICYCLIC TERPENE CONTAINING A 6-MEMBERED CARBON ATOM RING AND A RING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF 3 AND 4MEMBERED CARBON ATOM RINGS WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING SAID BICYCLIC TERPENE WITH A CATALYST SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ALKALI METALS AND THEIR HYDRIDES IN THE PRESENCE OF A POLYNUCLEAR AROMATIC HYDROCARBON TO FORM AROMATIC COMPOUNDS.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
A PROCESS FOR DEYHDROGENATING A-PINENE WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING SAID PINENE WITH A CATALYST CONSISTING OF SODIUM AND O-CHLOROTOLUENE, AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF FROM ABOUT 150* C. TO ABOUT 275* C. AND AT A PRESSURE IN THE RANGE OF FROM ABOUT ATMOSPHERIC TO ABOUT 25 ATMOSPHERES OF NITROGEN, TO FORM P-CYMENE AND 1,2,3-TIMETHYLBENZENE.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
A PROCESS FOR DEYHDROGENATING A-PINENE WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING SAID PINENE WITH A CATALYST CONSISTING OF SODIUM AND O-CHLOROTOLUENE, AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF FROM ABOUT 150* C. TO ABOUT 275* C. AND AT A PRESSURE IN THE RANGE OF FROM ABOUT ATMOSPHERIC TO ABOUT 25 ATMOSPHERES OF NITROGEN, TO FORM P-CYMENE AND 1,2,3-TIMETHYLBENZENE.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
64 words
A PROCESS FOR DEHYDROGENATING AN UNSATURATED BICYCLIC TERPENE CONTAINING A 6-MEMBERED CARBON ATOM RING AND A RING HAVING AT LEAST 3 BUT NOT MORE THAN 4 CARBON ATOMS, WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING SAID TERPENE WITH A CATALYST SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ALKALI METALS AND THEIR HYDRIDES IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ORGANIC PROMOTER COMPOUND CAPABLE OF FORMING AN ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUND WITH SAID CATALYST.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
64 words
A PROCESS FOR DEHYDROGENATING AN UNSATURATED BICYCLIC TERPENE CONTAINING A 6-MEMBERED CARBON ATOM RING AND A RING HAVING AT LEAST 3 BUT NOT MORE THAN 4 CARBON ATOMS, WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING SAID TERPENE WITH A CATALYST SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ALKALI METALS AND THEIR HYDRIDES IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ORGANIC PROMOTER COMPOUND CAPABLE OF FORMING AN ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUND WITH SAID CATALYST.
