Two samples of pentasil hydrogen forms were obtained: an ordinary sample and a sample lacking surface acid sites. The samples were tested in the disproportionation of toluene over short and very short periods of contact of the reaction mixture with the catalyst layer. The primary conversion products were found to be para-xylene and ethylbenzene in addition to benzene.
