  Abstract:
Let G be a finite group. We denote by Γ(G) the prime graph of G. Recently M. Hagie in (Hagie, M. (2003), The prime graph of a sporadic simple group, Comm. Algebra, 31: 4405-4424) determined finite groups G satisfying Γ(G) = Γ(S), where S is a sporadic simple group. We called M a CIT group if M is of even order and the centralizer of any involution is a 2-group. In this paper we determine finite groups G such that Γ(G) = Γ(M) where M is a CIT simple group. In fact we prove that if Γ(G) = Γ(PSL(2,p)) and p > 7 is a Mersenne prime, then GPSL(2,p). As a consequence of our results we can give positive answer to a conjecture of W. Shi and J. Bi.
