  • Method for the production of arylsulfides and compositions made therefrom
    Patent number: 6548709
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for production of arylsulfides wherein an aromatic compound is reacted with elemental sulfur in the presence of solid acid catalyst. The solid acid catalyst can be a zeolite. The methods are useful for producing alkylated diphenylsulfides from aromatic compounds and elemental sulfur.

  • Isomerization of paraffins
    Patent number: 6310265
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for isomerizing paraffins comprising the step of contacting a feed containing paraffins with a catalyst comprising a synthetic porous crystalline material, designated MCM-68, which exhibits a distinctive X-ray diffraction pattern and has a unique crystal structure which contains at least one channel system, in which each channel is defined by a 12-membered ring of tetrahedrally coordinated atoms, and at least two further, independent channel systems, in each of which each channel is defined by a 10-membered ring of tetrahedrally coordinated atoms, wherein the number of unique 10-membered ring channels is twice the number of 12-membered ring channels.
