Abstract: Disclosed is a Lewis acid catalyst for preparation of toluene from 2-methylfuran and a method for preparing toluene from 2-methylfuran by using the same. The catalyst is a zeolite catalyst ion-exchanged with a metal or a metal halide catalyst. The catalyst accelerates the cycloaddition of 2-methylfuran with ethylene and inhibits oligomerization as a side reaction, and thus allows production of toluene from 2-methylfuran with high yield and high selectivity.
