Abstract The reaction of hydrogen with mesitylene, p-xylene, toluene, and benzene has been studied on Pt/carrier catalysts in the gas phase between 30 and 110 °C. The hydrogenation is associated with a low temperature hydrogenolysis of the methyl substituents. This new low temperature hydrogenolysis of alkylbenzenes significantly differs from the hydrogenolysis of paraffins and from high temperature hydrocracking. Hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis are parallel reactions. A mechanism of hydrogenolysis is proposed. © 1976.
