A process for converting an alkyl aromatic to a different alkyl aromatic which comprises contacting the alkyl aromatic and an alkane having at least two carbon atoms with a catalyst mass having a component which has catalytic activity for alkane dehydrogenation and a second component which has catalytic activity for olefin averaging. Preferred alkyl aromatic feedstocks are ethyl benzene and butyl benzene. A particularly preferred catalytic mass for the reaction comprises platinum on alumina and tungsten oxide on silica.
