Year: 1974 Journal:   Journal of the Chemical Society Chemical Communications Pages: 397a-397a   Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry

Abstract

Heating of methanol of trimethyl phosphate in phosphorus pentoxide or polyphosphoric acid (or combinations) at 190° gave rise to a 36–39% yield of hydrocarbons made up of a complicated mixture of alkanes, cycloalkanes, and some alkenes.
