Disclosed is a process for the conversion of acyclic C 5 feedstock to a product comprising cyclic C 5 compounds, including cyclopentadiene, and catalyst compositions for use in such process. The process comprises contacting the feedstock and, optionally, hydrogen under acyclic C 5 conversion conditions in the presence of a catalyst composition to form said product. The catalyst composition comprises a microporous crystalline metallosilicate, a Group 10 metal or compound thereof, and a Group 11 metal or compound thereof. |
