Abstract
Abstract Hydrogenolysis of a saturated endo-endo dihydronorbornadiene hexacyclic dimer involves the use of a catalytic amount of a Group VIII metal and the presence of hydrogen. The resulting pentacyclic isomers can be used as a diluent for depressing the freezing point of the saturated hexacyclic dimer which is a component of a high density missile fuel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
Process for the liquid phase hydrogenolysis of a saturated endo-endo dihydronorbornadiene hexacyclic dimer comprising: (a) contacting a dimer having the following structure, ##STR4## with a catalytic amount of a Group VIII metal and in the presence of hydrogen; (b) having the contacting occur, in the absence of a solvent, at a temperature in the range between from about 50° C. to about 350° C.; and (c) continuing the contacting until the cyclopropane ring of the dimer is opened.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
78 words
Process for the liquid phase hydrogenolysis of a saturated endo-endo dihydronorbornadiene hexacyclic dimer comprising: (a) contacting a dimer having the following structure, ##STR4## with a catalytic amount of a Group VIII metal and in the presence of hydrogen; (b) having the contacting occur, in the absence of a solvent, at a temperature in the range between from about 50° C. to about 350° C.; and (c) continuing the contacting until the cyclopropane ring of the dimer is opened.
