A PROCESS FOR PREPARING SUBSTANTIALLY PURE NORMAL HEPTANE FROM A NAPHTHA CONTAINING NORMAL HEPTANE IN ADMIXTURE WITH HYDROCARBONS HAVING SIMILAR BOILING POINTS INCLUDING METHYLCYCLOHEXANE WHICH INCLUDES THE STEPS OF CONTACTING THE SAID NAPHTHA IN THE PRESENCE OF HYDROGEN WITH A CATALYST CAPABLE OF DEHYDROGENATING METHYLCYCLOHEXANE AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE BETWEEN 900* AND 950*F AND AT A PRESSURE IN THE RANGE BETWEEN 180 AND 250 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH UNDER CONDITIONS FAVORABLE TO THE DEHYDROGENATION OF METHYLCYCLOHEXANE AND REMOVING A PRODUCTION FROM THE REACTION ZONE, CONTACTING AT LEAST A PORTION OF SAID PRODUCT IN THE PRESENCE OF HYDROGEN WITH A CATALYST CAPABLE OF DEHYDROGENATING METHYLCYCLOHEXANE AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE BETWEEN 900* AND 950*F. AND AT A PRESSURE IN THE RANGE BETWEEN 180 AND 250 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH UNDER CONDITIONS FAVORABLE TO THE DEHYDROGENATION OF METHYLCYCLOHEXANE AND RECOVERING A PRODUCT FROM SAID LATTER CONTACTING STEP, ACID TREATING THE SAID LAST MENTIONED PRODUCT WITH SULFURIC ACID AND REDISTILLING THE ACID TREATED PRODUCT TO RECOVER A HYDROCARBON FRACTION BOILING BETWEEN ABOUT 208*F. AND 211*F. CONSISTING OF SUBSTANTIALLY PURE NORMAL HEPTANE.
