FIELD: hydrocarbon conversion catalysts. SUBSTANCE: catalyst contains, %: Pentasil-type zeolite, 60-75; with silicate modulus (silica-to-alumina ratio), 35-50; zinc fluoride modifier, 1.4-4.6 which is preliminarily mixed with zeolite, and balancing amount of alumina binder. Hydrocarbon conversion process is carried out at 280-550 C, pressure 0.15-2.0 MPa, and gaseous raw material flow rate 360 to 1200 h-1. EFFECT: increased catalyst activity, selectivity, and stability. 2 cl, 2 tbl, 4 ex
