Abstract
Developments in advanced polymer materials and specialty chemicals, which present new opportunities for catalytic research on selective conversion of polycyclic compounds, could be obtained from coal-derived liquids and some refinery steams. A review of the recent studies on synthesis of value-added organic chemicals from 2-ring and 3-ring PAH by selective conversion over certain 12-MR or 10-MR zeolite catalysts or zeolite-supported metal catalysts covers the ring-shift isomerization of phenanthrene derivatives to anthracene derivatives; shape-selective alkylation of naphthalene for synthesizing 2,6-dialkylnaphthalene; shape-selective alkylation of biphenyl for synthesizing 4,4 - dialkylbiphenyl; conformational isomerization of cis-decahydronaphthalene into trans-decahydronaphthalene; shape-selective hydrogenation of naphthalene into either cis- or trans-decalin; and regio-selective hydrogenation of 1-naphthol and quinoline for synthesizing specialty fuel additives.
