Acyclic C 5 feedstocks, process for converting a product containing cyclic C 5 compounds such as cyclopentadiene, and a catalyst composition for use in such methods are disclosed, for example. The method includes forming the product non-cyclic C 5 conversion conditions, contacting the hydrogen in the feed and optionally in the presence of a catalyst composition. The catalyst composition comprises a crystalline aluminosilicate having a constraint index of 5 or less, a Group 10 metal, and optionally a Group 11 metal in combination with a Group 1 alkali metal and / or a Group 2 alkaline earth metal. |
