Endo- to exo-isomerization of tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene catalyzed by commercially available zeolites

Isomerization of tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene was investigated. H-type Y zeolites were chosen to catalyze the conversion of endo-THDCPD to exo-THDCPD. The results show H-USY was active and selective enough for exo-THDCPD production.
