Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 71 words
The process for the preparation of cyclopentene which comprises selectively hydrogenating cyclopentadiene in the liquid phase by contacting cyclopentadiene with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst comprising a highly dispersed form of nickel selected from the group consisting of Ranel nickel or modified Ranel nickel in which ammonium hydroxide is employed in the reaction mixture in the volume ratio of ammonium hydroxide to cyclopentadiene of from 1/1 to 4/1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 71 words
The process for the preparation of cyclopentene which comprises selectively hydrogenating cyclopentadiene in the liquid phase by contacting cyclopentadiene with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst comprising a highly dispersed form of nickel selected from the group consisting of Ranel nickel or modified Ranel nickel in which ammonium hydroxide is employed in the reaction mixture in the volume ratio of ammonium hydroxide to cyclopentadiene of from 1/1 to 4/1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 16 words
A process according to claim 1 in which the temperature ranges from 20° to 30° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
