H-ZSM-5 and H-ZSM-11 efficiently catalyze the conversion of isopentane into aromatic hydrocarbons.n-Pentane produces more aromatic hydrocarbons than isopentane, but at low conversion levels (high space velocity) isopentane was about two times more reactive thann-pentane in terms of the first order rate constant for the cracking of the pentane isomers.
