Catalytic conversion

A process of effecting catalytic conversion of an organic compound-containing feedstock to conversion product which comprises contacting said feedstock under catalytic conversion conditions with a catalyst comprising an active form of an inorganic, non-pillared crystalline phase exhibiting an X-ray diffraction pattern following calcination with at least two peaks at positions greater than about 10 Angstrom Units d-spacing, at least one of which is at a position greater than about 18 Angstrom Units d-spacing, and no peaks at positions less than about 10 Angstrom Units d-spacing with relative intensity greater than about 20% of the strongest peak.

A process for effecting catalytic conversion of an organic compound-containing feedstock to conversion product which comprises contacting said feedstock under catalytic conversion conditions with a catalyst comprising an active form of an inorganic, non-pillared crystalline phase having a pore size of about 13 Angstroms or greater and exhibiting, after calcination, an X-ray diffraction pattern with at least one peak at a position greater than about 18 Angstrom Units d-spacing with a relative intensity of 100.
