What is Reactivity of methane at low temperatures (∼400°C) with ‘refractory’ bonds about?

The thermal cracking of benzene, toluene, diphenylmethane, biphenyl, diphenyl sulfide, diphenyl ether, phenol and dinaphthol was studied in the presence of inert gases, methane, methane-hydrogen mixtures and Cu-Beta, H-Beta and Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts at various reaction temperatures (350-480°C), pressures (3.5-9 MPa) and times (1-4 h). For some systems methane assists conversion by either methylation (benzene, biphenyl) or debenzylation and methylation (diphenylmethane). In others, where methylated materials are reactants, demethylation may occur at the same time as debenzylation. The activities of the various catalysts are compared. Their effectiveness in conversion or selectivity varies with organic substrate. Two mechanisms of conversion are identified. One involves direct addition of methyl groups, the other includes a disproportionation process probably resulting in carbon deposition.
