Dehydrohalogenation of halohydrocarbons at Raney nickel [2—4] T2 - Zeitschrift für Naturforschung, B N2 - Raney nickel, a highly reactive and air-sensitive solid, if prepared and investigated under oxygen-free conditions, exhibits interesting catalytic properties. Using photoelectron spectroscopy for real-time gas analysis in a flow reactor, the following results are obtained with alkyl and acylhalides: Dehydrohalogenation temperatures are lowered relative to thermal HHal elimination up to 350 K. Monochloro and bromo propanes and butenes yield propene and butadiene, respectively. 1,1-Dichloro ethane or 1,1-dibromo propane only split off one HHal and form chloroethene or 1-bromopropene-2. HCl elimination from 2-methyl propionic acid chloride, expectedly, produces dimethyl ketene. Most interesting, however, is the ring opening of monobromo cyclobutane to 1-bromo-butene-3, observed already at room temperature, which strongly suggests the intermediate formation of a chemisorbed surface carbene at Raney nickel. The formation of hexadiene-1,5 as a by-product in the HCl elimination of 1-chloropropane, i. e. a surface carbene dimer, indicates their presence also in other dehydrohalogenations heterogeneously catalyzed by Raney nickel.
