Fused iron catalyzed conversion of benzene to toluene

Whereas benzene hydrogenation catalyzed over group VIII metals has been investigated, intensively, very few reports have considered ring hydrogenolysis of this simple aromatic hydrocarbon. The authors have recently discovered that surface carbon reincorporation to produce toluene and xylenes is an i...

Summary:Whereas benzene hydrogenation catalyzed over group VIII metals has been investigated, intensively, very few reports have considered ring hydrogenolysis of this simple aromatic hydrocarbon. The authors have recently discovered that surface carbon reincorporation to produce toluene and xylenes is an important reaction operating during benzene hydrogenolysis over a conventional fused iron ammonia synthesis catalyst.
