Hydrodealkylation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hydrodealkylation is a chemical reaction that often involves reacting an aromatic hydrocarbon such as toluene in the presence of hydrogen gas to form a simpler aromatic hydrocarbon devoid of functional groups, for example, converting 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene to xylene.[1] This chemical process often involves high temperatures, high pressures or the presence of a catalyst, predominantly a transition metal such as chromium or molybdenum.
