Procedure
Acenaphthene was hydrogenated by the same procedure as in Example 4 except that the catalyst was replaced by a 5% Rh/C catalyst and reaction was effected at 150° C. for 30 minutes. Perhydroacenaphthene was produced in a yield of 100%, containing 1.1% of No. 1 isomer, 3.6% of No. 2 isomer, and 4.4% of No. 3 isomer, indicating a selectivity of No. 4 isomer of 90.9%.
