ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a process for the production of cyclic hydrocarbons from light olefinic hydrocarbons which involves contacting n-octene feed with a Group VIII metal oxide catalyst in the presence of molecular oxygen at temperatures of 130.degree.-500.degree. C. and a pressure of 1-200 psi to yield vinylcyclohexene and ethylbenzene.
The invention further provides a two step vapor phase process embodiment for converting n-octene feed to styrene via a vinylcyclohexene/ethylbenzene intermediate mixture. When nitrobenzene is employed as the oxidizing agent in place of molecular oxygen, aniline is obtained as an additional product.
