The mesoporous material AIMCM-41 with a low silica to alumina ratio of 17 was synthesized by utilizing a method of adjusting the equilibrium in the gel using acetic acid. The catalytic activity of AIMCM-41 was tested in the isomerization of 1-butene, the cracking of cumene and the alkylation of 2-isopropylnaphthalene with isopropyl alcohol. AIMCM-41 exhibited the solid acidity enough to catalyze various reactions. In particularly, the long catalytic life of AIMCM-41 for the isopropylation of 2-isopropylnaphthalene comparing to a silica-alumina catalyst and HY zeolite was noteworthy
