1. Raising the pressure from 10 to 40-50 atm leads to opposite changes in the direction of hydrogenolysis of methylcyclopentane, depending on the catalyst: in experiments with an aluminoplatinum catalyst, the ratios of n-hexane to 2-methylpentane formed, n-hexane to 3-methylpentane, and 3-methylpentane to 2-methylpentane increase, while in the case of an aluminopalladium catalyst these ratios decrease. 2. The results obtained agree with the earlier hypothesis of a dependence of the direction of the hydrogenolysis reaction on the charges of the carbon atoms and charges of the metal atoms contained in the catalyst. © 1973 Consultants Bureau.
