(under subclass 250) Subject matter wherein the hydrogen which goes toward saturation of the unsaturated bonds is introduced to the process as a hydrocarbon compound, the latter hydrocarbon compound becoming less saturated.
(1) Note. Where the less saturated hydrocarbon is the only desired product of the process, the process is classified below as a dehydrogenation reaction.
(2) Note. Processes according to this subclass are sometimes called disproportionation", "hydrogen-exchange disproportionation", or "hydrogen transfer".
