Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the subject substance with a high-2,6-isomer selectivity in a high yield by bringing a methylnaphthalene into contact with a faujasite type zeolite under heating preferably in the presence of a saturated alicyclic hydrocarbon as a solvent and carrying out a disproportionation reaction. CONSTITUTION:In the presence of a faujasite type zeolite catalyst (e.g. Y type zeolite), 1- or 2-methylnaphthalene is heated at the ordinary pressure-30kg/cm<2> and 250-400 deg.C to obtain the subject substance with a high-2,6-isomer selectivity and in a high yield. The above-mentioned reaction can be carried out in the presence of a saturated alicyclic hydrocarbon (e.g. decalin or bicyclohexyl) as a solvent as necessary and deactivation of the catalyst can be inhibited thereby. When the reaction is carried out under pressure, pressurizing is carried out preferably using hydrogen. The above-mentioned pressurizing is also may be carried out by introducing N2, CO2, CH4, etc., into a reaction system. The amount of the catalyst used is 5-40wt.% based on the raw material.
