Compositions for production of olefins, terpenes, aromatics and cycloaliphatics and methods therefor, and products therefrom

Abstract

The invention provides a reactant mixture for conducting multistep reactions to produce products with high selectivity and yields. The mixture comprises a first compound comprising at least one carbon-carbon double bond or a precursor therefor; a heat transfer fluid; and at least one stabilizer. The reactant mixture has been found to enable synthesis of target compounds with high selectivity and yields, and improves catalyst performance by reduced coke formation. Thus, reactions spanning longer periods of time can be run, and the reagents can be recycled a number of times without compromising on yields and selectivity.
