ABSTRACT:
A highly selective process is described for preparing 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene which comprises reacting a naphthalene hydrocarbon selected from naphthalene, methylnaphthalenes, dimethylnaphthalenes, trimethylnaphthalenes, polymethylnaphthalenes, and/or their mixtures with one or more benzene hydrocarbons selected from benzene, toluene, xylenes, trimethylbenzenes, tetramethylbenzenes, pentamethylbenzene and/or hexamethylbenzene, under at least partially liquid phase conditions and in the presence of a catalytic composition comprising a zeolite belonging to the MTW structural type and at least one element selected from P, B and Si. The process is preferably carried out in the presence of a methylating agent.
