Abstract
A process for converting aromatic hydrocarbons (in particular benzene) to cycloalkyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbons (in particular cyclohexylbenzene) in the presence of free hydrogen and a palladium-promoted zeolite catalyst is carried out in the presence of carbon monoxide as process modifier (so as to enhance the selectivity to the cycloalkyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon).
