Abstract: H-MCM-22 and H-MCM-36, which were synthesized from the same precursor, are active catalysts for the alkylation of benzene with isopropanol. Compared with H-MCM-22, H-MCM-36 shows higher activity and selectivity for cumene, which is due to the fact that H-MCM-36 possesses more accessible Brnsted acid site s than H-MCM-22.

Key words: H-MCM-22 zeolite, H-MCM-36 zeolite, alkylation, cumene
