The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a zeolitic material having a structure comprising YO2 and optionally comprising X2O3, preferably comprising YO2 and X2O3, wherein said process comprises the steps of (1) providing a mixture comprising one or more ammonium compounds of which the ammonium cation has the formula (I): [R1R2NR3R4]+  (I) and further comprising one or more sources for YO2 and one or more sources for X2O3; (2) crystallizing the mixture provided in (1); wherein Y is a tetravalent element, and X is a trivalent element, and wherein in formula (I) R1 and R2 are independently from one another derivatized or underivatized methyl, and R3 and R4 are independently from one another derivatized or underivatized (C3-C5)alkyl, and wherein the molar ratio of ammonium cation having the formula (I) to Y in the mixture provided in step (1) and crystallized in step (2) is equal to or greater than 0.25.
