Abstract

A process for the isomerization of 1,5 and 1,6-dimethylnaphthalenes to a product including 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene which comprises passing a feed stream containing the 1,5 and 1,6 isomers over a catalyst at isomerization reaction conditions which catalyst consists essentially of from about 35 to about 45 weight per cent of the hydrogen form of mordenite dispersed in an alumina matrix.
