Conversion of aqueous methanol over H-ZSM-5 zeolite in the presence of para-xylene (or toluene) has been effected in a batch, stirred autoclave under autogeneous pressure at 344/sup 0/C. Alkanes are the main products; ketones, carboxylic acids and methyl esters are also formed. A mechanism for the organic reactions is proposed.
