Propylation of toluene with selective production of cymene is accomplished by vapor phase reaction of toluene and propylene at a temperature between about 400 DEG and about 600 DEG F. in the presence of a catalyst comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite, said zeolite having a silica to alumina ratio of at least about 12 and a constraint index, as hereinafter defined, within the approximate range of 1 to 12.
