Abstract

The present invention concerns a catalyst comprising a porous organic or mineral support, preferably silica, and an acidic phase containing B(OSO.sub.2 CF.sub.3).sub.3 and at least one acid selected from the group formed by sulphuric acid (H.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and trifluoromethane sulphonic acid (CF.sub.3 SO.sub.3 H), the support having been impregnated by said acidic phase, said catalyst being such that it is constituted essentially by particles with an average diameter of between 0.1 and 150 .mu.m, such that the support, prior to its impregnation with said acidic phase, has a total pore volume of between 0.5 and 6 cm.sup.3 per gram and said catalyst being characterized in that said acidic phase contains: PA1 between 0.1 and 70% by weight of B(OSO.sub.2 CF.sub.3).sub.3 ; PA1 between 0 and 90% by weight of H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 ; PA1 between 0 and 90% by weight of CF.sub.3 SO.sub.3 H. The catalyst is useful for the catalytic alkylation of isobutane and/or isopentane in the presence of at least one olefin containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms per molecule, preferably 3 to 6 carbon atoms per molecule.
