Abstract:
Method for effecting the formation of co-trimers of cyclopentadiene and methylcyclopentadiene whereby a mixture of the dimers of said dienes is heated in the presence of an inert solvent. The foregoing method is implemented to provide a high energy fuel by substantially completely hydrogenating the resultant trimerization product.
