Zusammenfassung:Boroaluminosilicate molecular sieve catalysts are provided and are useful for hydrocarbon conversion reactions including isomerization of xylenes in C8 aromatics feedstocks to produce p-xylene. Advantageously, it has been found that the boroaluminosilicate molecular sieve catalysts of the invention are more selective than conventional commercial xylene isomerization catalysts, resulting in reduced formation of transmethylation byproducts (C7 and C9 aromatics) while simultaneously providing a high degree of xylene isomerization.
