This patent describes a method for converting methyl chloride to hydrocarbons having a higher molecular weight than methane. It comprises contacting the methyl chloride with a catalytic composition under appropriate reaction conditions to form the hydrocarbons, the catalytic composition comprising crystalline borosilicate, a porous refractory inorganic oxide, and a promoting amount of a promoter material of at least one element selected from the group consisting of iron and gallium, the borosilicate and the inorganic oxide having been intimately admixed with one another, the borosilicate comprising a molecular sieve material having the following composition in terms of mole ratios of oxides: 0.9 {plus minus} 0.2M{sub 2/n}O:B{sub 2}O{sub 3{minus}y}SiO{sub 2}zH{sub 2}O wherein M is at least one cation having a valence n, y is between 4 and about 600, and z is between 0 and about 160.
