C. to about 500.degree. C. and overall isoparaffin:olefin feed weight ratio of from about 1:1 to about 250:1 with a solid alkylation catalyst comprising a synthetic porous crystalline material characterized 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

The transfer of hydrogen from a paraffin to an olefin is provided. This reaction may be carried out in the presence of a catalyst, such as MCM-36. Especially when the paraffin reactant is an isoparaffin, the olefin produced from the reacted isoparaffin may react with unreacted isoparaffin to also produce an alkylate product.

A process is disclosed for the highly selective skeletal isomerization of linear olefin-containing organic feeds wherein linear olefins, e.g., n-butenes, are contacted with catalyst comprising ZSM-35 under isomerization conditions to produce iso-olefins of corresponding carbon number, e.g., isobutene. High iso-olefin selectivities thus can be obtained, even at relatively low temperatures and high linear olefin partial pressures.

The process involves the use of at least two reactors connected in series. The first reactor comprises a zeolite catalyst and is operated under conditions which particularly promote ring opening. The catalyst in this first reactor may comprise zeolite Beta and platinum. A downstream reactor is operated under conditions to promote isomerization of aliphatics. The catalyst in the second reactor may comprise alumina, platinum and a chloride component. Hydrogen in the effluent of the first reactor may be removed and recycled to the first reactor.

An isoparaffin-olefin alkylation process is disclosed which improves alkylate quality by segregating the olefin feed into intermediate feedstreams which are enriched in propene, 1-butene, and/or 2-butenes with respect to the olefin feed, and alkylating these intermediate feedstreams in separate reaction zones at reaction temperatures specific to the olefin feed to increase the ratio of trimethylpentanes to dimethylhexanes in the resulting alkylate product.
