This study was concluded to elucidate a pathway for formation of C19 isoprenoid hydrocarbons (isops) in petroleum from chlorophylls. C19 isops are predominantly produced when dihydrophytol is heated at 320 °C for a period ranging from 1 to 5 h under vacuum while C20 isops are predominantly produced when chlorophyll a or phytol is heated. A radical chain reaction of decomposition of dihydrophytol is proposed as plausible pathway for producing C19 isops.
这项研究旨在阐明石油中叶绿素形成 C19 异构烃(isops)的途径。在真空条件下,将双氢
植物醇在 320 °C 下加热 1 至 5 小时,主要会产生 C19
异丙醇,而加热叶绿素 a 或
植物醇,则主要会产生 C20
异丙醇。二氢
植物醇分解的自由基链反应被认为是产生 C19 异构体的可能途径。
