CATALYST FOR PRODUCING ADAMANTANES AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING ADAMANTANES BY USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catalyst which is used in an isomerization reaction of a tricyclic saturated hydrocarbon compound of ≥10 carbon atoms and by which adamantanes can be produced in high yield without necessitating hydrogen chloride and troublesome operations such as waste liquid treatment and to provide an industrially advantageous method for producing adamantanes in high yield by the isomerization reaction by using this catalyst.

SOLUTION: This catalyst is obtained by depositing an active metal on sulfated zirconia. Adamantanes are produced by isomerizing the tricyclic saturated hydrocarbon compound of ≥10 carbon atoms in the presence of this catalyst.
