Isoparaffin:olefin alkylation in the presence of synthetic porous MCM-49

摘要

The invention provides an isoparaffin: olefin alkylation process comprising contacting isoparaffin and olefin with a synthetic porous crystalline material which is characterized, in its uncalcined form, by an X-ray diffraction pattern including values substantially as set forth in Table I of the specification and having a composition comprising the molar relationship X2O3:(n)YO2, wherein n is less than about 20, X is a trivalent element and Y is a tetravalent element.
