Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the synthesis of dibenzofuran by the dehydrocyclization of 2-cyclo-hexenyl-cyclohexanone at high temperature in the presence of air and a catalyst system selected among the known dehydrogenation catalysts. By the claimed process very high yields of dibenzofuran are achieved.
Claims10
The process of synthesizing dibenzofuran which comprises subjecting 2-cyclohexenylcyclohexanone to oxidative dehydrocyclization at high temperatures in the presence of a dehydrocyclization catalyst which is a member of the group consisting of the oxides and blends of oxides of the metals belonging to groups III, IV, V, VI, and VIII, and an oxidizing agent.
