Abstract: The disproportionation of β-methylnaphthalene(β-MN) was carried out over HZSM-5 catalysts.The external acid sites were eliminated by modification with P(C6H5)3 and Si(Ph2)Cl2.The dis-proportionation and isomerization of β-MNoccur on different positions of the catalyst, the dispropor-tionation proceeds in the pore of HZSM-5 and yields 2,6-DMNselectively, whereas isomerization only proceeds on the external surface.The secondary reaction of DMNon the surface of HZSM-5 and isomerization are reduced by elimination of the external surface acid sites.

Key words: β-Methylnaphthalene, HZSM-5, Disproportionation, Isomerization
