Aqueous ammonia (28%) was added to a mixture of SnCl4 and Ce(NO3)4 -2NH4NO3 2H2O in water at 50° C. The resulting precipitate was dried, calcinated for 3 hours at 600° C., and crushed to form a catalyst. 1-Naphthol/methanol mixture (1:6 molar) was passed over the catalyst at 425° C. and 1000 hr-1 space velocity to give 72.5 wt. % 2-methyl-1-naphthol, 2.6 wt. % 4-methyl-naphthol and 2.2 wt. % of other material.
