Summary 1. Tertiary alcohols and ditertiary glycols with two isopropyl or tertiary butyl groups at the carbons bearing the hydroxyl groups were hydrogenated in the presence of molybdenum disulfide. In the case of compounds containing tertiary butyl radicals, one or two (in the case of glycols) of these radicals were eliminated with the formation of hydrocarbons containing 4 or 8 less carbon atoms. 2. Analogous alcohols and glycols with isopropyl groups were stable under the hydrogenation conditions and formed hydrocarbons with the same carbon skeleton as the original oxygen-containing compounds. Hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-Isopropyloctanol-3 and 2,9-dimethyl-3,8-diisopropyldecanediol-3, 8 gave high yields of 2-methyl-3-isopropyloctane and 2,9-dimethyl-3,8-diisopropyldecane.
