Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce the subject substance by reacting a dimethylnaphthalene isomer mixture having a 2,6-isomer concentration lower than the thermodynamic equilibrium concentration thereof in the presence of a faujasite type zeolite whose exchangeable cation sites are exchanged with Zn ions. CONSTITUTION:A, 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene isomer mixture having a 2,6-isomer concentration of approximately 0.2-5% is reacted in the presence of a solid acid catalyst at 250-450 deg.C to heighten the 2,6-isomer concentration to approximately 10-20%. A faujasite type zeolite in which at least one part of exchangeable cation sites is exchanged with Zn ions is employed as the solid acid catalyst and produced e.g. by bringing a super stable Y type zeolite subjected to an Al-removing treatment, etc., for reducing Al content into contact with a zinc compound-containing aqueous solution. The catalyst maintains a high catalytic activity for a long time, but can be regenerated by subjecting the used catalyst to an oxidation or hydrogenation treatment after the reaction is finished.

Dimethylnaphthalene is a compound in which two methyl groups are bonded to a naphthalene skeleton, and various isomers exist. Therefore, the concentration of each isomer is low, and it is necessary to effectively utilize the isomer mixture after separation of the required isomers. For example, the thermodynamic equilibrium concentration of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene in all dimethyl forms is about 14%, and in order to effectively utilize the raffinate after separating this, it is necessary to increase the concentration of 2,6-dimethyl forms. Conversion reactions such as isomerization or transalkylation were required.
