PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ALPHA-PICOLINE

摘要

Alpha-picolines are produced by containing aniline or substituted anilines, such as alkyl-, cyclo alkyl-, halo- ; alkoxy- or substituted alkyl-anilines with a crystalline zeolite catalyst having a silica:alumina ratio of at least 12 and a constraint index of 1 to 12. ZSM-5 type catalysts are contacted at elevated temperature to yield alpha-picolines selectively.
