DEFINITION
Classification: 585/362
Dimerizing a cycloolefin:
(under subclass 361) Subject matter wherein an alicyclic compound having olefinic unsaturation in the ring or in a side-chain is condensed with itself to form a compound having more than one ring.
(1) Note. Many processes herein are designed to remove cyclopentadiene impurities from a hydrocarbon stream by dimerizing the impurities.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
832, for a process where a hydrocarbon stream is purified by polymerizing a component and resolving the polymer to the monomer.
