Abstract
Ionic alcoholysis of Binor-S, a C.sub.14 heptacyclic, saturated hydrocarbon, in the presence of a primary alcohol and hydrogen, yields a low melting point product containing novel alkyl ethers of Binor-S. Alcoholysis occurs at about 50.degree.-300.degree. C. and at about 100-10,000 p.s.i.g. in the presence of Raney nickel, palladium-on-carbon or palladium-on-alumina catalyst promoted by a hydrogen halide or its equivalent. Resulting product has utility as a high energy fuel.
Claims24
A method for preparing a mixture containing alkyl ethers of Binor-S comprising:
- contacting Binor-S with hydrogen in the presence of a promoting amount of a promoter containing halide, an effective amount of a catalyst selected from the following group:
- palladium-on-carbon, palladium-on-alumina and Raney nickel;
- and a primary alcohol having the structure R--CH.sub.2 OH wherein R is hydrogen or a paraffinic alkyl containing C.sub.1 --C.sub.10 atoms, said contacting occurring at a temperature of about 50.degree.-300.degree. C and at a pressure of about 100-10,000 p.s.i.g.;
- and
- whereby the melting point of the resulting mixture containing alkyl ethers of Binor-S enables said mixture to be used as a high energy fuel.
Alkyl ethers of Binor-S having the following structures:
- ##STR4## wherein R is a hydrogen or a paraffinc alkyl containing C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 atoms.
A composition useful as a high energy fuel comprising a low melting mixture of alkyl ethers of Binor-S having the following structures:
- ##STR5## wherein R is a hydrogen or a paraffinic alkyl containing C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 atoms and said mixture contains at least 30 weight % of said ethers, and said mixture is prepared by contacting Binor-S with a primary paraffinic alcohol in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst.
