    Abstract: In a process for producing a methyl-substituted biphenyl compound, at least one methyl-substituted cyclohexylbenzene compound of the formula: wherein each of m and n is independently 1, 2, or 3, is contacted with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst to produce a hydrogenation reaction product comprising at least one methyl-substituted bicyclohexane compound, and the methyl-substituted bicyclohexane compound is then contacted with a dehydrogenation catalyst to produce a dehydrogenation reaction product comprising at least one methyl-substituted biphenyl compound.

    Abstract: In a process for producing phenol and/or cyclohexanone, cyclohexylbenzene is contacted with an oxygen-containing gas under conditions effective to produce an oxidation effluent containing cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide. At least a portion of the oxidation effluent containing cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide is then contacted with a cleavage catalyst under conditions effective to produce a cleavage effluent containing phenol and cyclohexanone. At least one of the oxidation effluent and the cleavage effluent contains a by-product comprising a mixture of isomers of phenylcyclohexanol and/or phenylcyclohexanone, in which the 2-phenyl isomer(s) is present in an amount less than 20% of the mixture. At least a portion of the at least one effluent containing the isomer mixture is contacted with a dehydration catalyst under conditions effective to convert at least a portion of the mixture to isomers of phenylcyclohexene, with very low ring rearrangement to produce 1-methylcyclopentenylbenzene and cyclopentenylmethylbenzene.
