The present invention provides an improved method for producing high quality porous crystalline MCM-56 material. The present invention also relates to MCM-56 materials produced by the improved process, catalyst compositions containing the same, and their use in processes for catalytic conversion of hydrocarbon compounds. One such conversion method involves the production of monoalkylated aromatic compounds, particularly ethylbenzene and cumene, by liquid phase or partial liquid phase alkylation of aromatic compounds that can be alkylated, particularly benzene. |
