Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR CONVERTING SATURATED HYDROCARBONS TO ALIPHATIC OR ALICYCLIC OLEFINS HAVING THE SAME NUMBER OF CARBON ATOMS AS THE FEED IS DESCRIBED. THE FEED CAN BE C4-C10 N-PARAFFINS, CERTAIN C4-C10 ISOPARAFFINS, CYCLOHEXANE OR METHYL-SUBSTITUTED CYCLOHEXANES OF THE C7-C10 RANGE. THE OLEFIN PRODUCT FROM N-PARAFFIN FEED IS SINGLY BRANCHED OLEFIN. THE PROCESS INVOLVES RREACTING THE SATURATED HYDROCARBON WITH A C10-C13 ADAMANTANE HYDROCARBON IN THE PRESENCE OF STRONG SULFURIC ACID TO FORM A HIGHER ALKYLATED ADAMANTANE, FOLLOWED BY CRACKING OF THE LATTER TO YIELD THE OLEFIN AND RE-FORM THE C10-C13 ADAMANTANE HYDROCARBON. THE LATTER CAN BE RECYLED. THE PROCEDURE IS ALSO APPLICABLE TO THE RECOVERY OF OLEFINS FROM SPENT SULFURIC ACID PREVIOUSLY USED IN THE TREATMENT OF OLEFINIC STOCKS, E.G. IN AN OLEFIN-ISOPARAFFIN ALKYLATION PROCESS
Abstract:
Adamantane hydrocarbons of the C10-C30 range having one to four open bridgehead positions are ethylated by the reaction of a mixture of boron fluoride etherate and sulfuric acid (90-100 percent H2SO4 equivalent by weight) or fluorosulfonic acid (HFSO3) at a temperature in the range of -10* to 100* C. During the reaction, the adamantane nucleus remains intact and any alkyl groups attached thereto in the adamantane hydrocarbon charge remain at the original position. Ethylation occurs only at bridgehead positions of the nucleus and from one to four alkyl or cycloalkyl groups can be substituted if such bridgehead positions are open in the starting hydrocarbon. The ethylation product has one or more ethyl substituents than the starting hydrocarbon, which substituents are attached to the adamantane nucleus at bridgehead positions.

Abstract:
Conjugated dienes of polycyclic naphthenes having three to 11 rings of five to six carbon atoms each of which at least three are adjacent fused rings are produced by contacting the polycyclic naphthenes with a strong acid and a monool or diol of an adamantane hydrocarbon having zero to four alkyl groups with at least one alkyl group at a non bridgehead position when the number of alkyl groups is four at a reaction temperature between the freezing point of the acid and 50* C., and recovering a polycyclic conjugated diene from the reaction mixture.
