Abstract
A process for efficiently producing dimethylnaphthalene by a single-step reaction which comprises cyclizing dehydrogenating 5-tolyl-penta-2-ene in the presence of a catalyst comprising in combination (a) a solid acid such as crystalline aluminosilicate, silica-alumina or alumina; (b) a noble metal such as palladium and platinum; and a carrier such as carbon, silicon oxide, titanium oxide and zirconium oxide. The process results in simplification of production, effective utilization of reaction heat and rationalization of the heat balance.
