Studies of the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of dibenzofuran continued. To help clarify the reaction network four possible reaction intermediates were studied in detail: 2 phenyl phenol, 2-cyclohexylphenol, trans-2-phenyl-cyclohexanol, and 2-cyclohexylcyclohexanol. All four intermediates are more reactive than dibenzofuran itself. The most detailed study previously reported on the HDO of dibenzofuran is that of Krishnamurthy and Shah (1979). However, our product distributions differ from theirs in several significant ways and we note that in some cases they did not recover a major portion of their products. We are presently attempting to see if their study and ours can be reconciled. 6 figs., 2 tabs.
