Conclusions 1. A quantum chemical calculation by the MINDO/3 method predicts, for processes of 1,2(2,1)-H-exchange and concerted β-elimination of H2 in the propane molecule, lowering of the barrier by 4–8 kcal/mole compared with analogous reactions in ethane for simultaneous shift of the reaction center from the CH3 group. 2. From the calculations for model processes, in conversions of saturated hydrocarbons there can be competition between concerted reactions of dehydrogenation, skeletal isomerization, and formation of carbene centers.
