There is provided a method for preparing a synthetic crystalline material from a reaction mixture including an organic directing agent selected from 1,4-diazacycloheptane (i.e. homopiperazine), azacyclooctane (i.e. heptamethyleneimine), aminocyclohexane (i.e. cyclohexylamine), aminocyclopentane (i.e. cyclopentylamine) and aminocycloheptane (i.e. cycloheptylamine). The crystalline material may be an aluminosilicate zeolite having considerable catalytic activity, e.g. for hydrocarbon conversion reactions.

Synthesis of a synthetic porous crystalline material

A catalyst comprising a molecular sieve having a lattice aluminum content in which the silica/alumina framework mole ratio is less than 55, and having a diffusion rate constant of less than about 150 sec.sup.-1 .times.10.sup.-6 is particularly useful for vapor-phase disproportionation of toluene.
