PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ADAMANTANE COMPOUND

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/048077

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A process for producing an adamantane compound which is a hydrocarbon having an adamantane structure by isomerizing a C¿10? or higher tricyclic saturated hydrocarbon, characterized in that the isomerization is conducted with the aid of a catalyst comprising a zeolite and, supported thereon by the ion-exchange method, one or more members selected among the metals in Group VIII of the Periodic Table (Groups 8 to 10 of the New Periodic Table). The process enables an adamantane compound to be efficiently produced with a solid catalyst without using hydrogen chloride.
