Improvements relating to reactions upon organic bodies at temperatures of red heat or above

摘要

In carrying out organic reactions at high temperatures, the deposition of solid carbon on metallic parts of the apparatus is prevented by coating the metal with tin or a tin alloy. The tin layer also acts as a catalyst. The production of benzene and toluene from cresol by treatment with hydrogen at 800 DEG C. in an apparatus consisting of tinned iron tubes is given by way of example.ALSO:In carrying out organic reactions at high temperatures, the deposition of solid carbon on metallic parts of the apparatus is prevented by coating the metal with tin or a tin alloy.
