	abstract = {<p>The Claisen rearrangement of allyl phenyl ether (APE) to o-allylphenol was investigated over zeolites beta (BEA), mordenite (MOR) and Y (FAU) with different Si/Al ratios. Over the zeolite catalysts, the allylphenol cyclized to produce 2,3-dihydro-2-methyl benzofuran. Larger catalyst loading, higher reaction temperatures and longer run duration favored the formation of the ring compound. Conversion was small over MOR and FAU although they possessed higher acidity (as measured by the temperature programmed desorption of ammonia) compared to BEA. Studies using BEA revealed that the nature of the solvent influenced the reaction rate. The order of reactivity in the solvents was, benzene \&gt; EDC (1,2-dichloroethane) \&gt; toluene \&gt; TCE (1, 1,2,2-tetrachloroethane) \&gt;\&gt; ACN (acetonitrile). The intermediate allylphenol reacted with the aromatic solvents to produce byproducts when benzene and toluene were used as solvents. A kinetic analysis assuming first order series and parallel reactions is presented. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>The acylation of anisole with long-chain carboxylic acids (hexanoic, octanoic and decanoic) has been studied over three large pore zeolites-beta (BEA), faujasite (FAU) and mordenite (MOR). The acylation of anisole with the long chain acids produced mainly the ketone (4-methoxy phenyl alkyl ketone) and small amounts of the ester (phenyl alkanoate). The results revealed the reaction to be influenced by the type of zeolite and its Si/Al ratio (acidity) besides the chain length (carbon number) of the carboxylic acid. In the acylation of anisole with hexanoic acid, the activity of the zeolites increased with dealumination as it led to the generation of mesopores that resulted in a decrease in diffusion resistance of the zeolites. The reactivity of the acids in the acylation reaction was found to decrease with increase in the carbon number. The experimental data have been fitted into a pseudo first order kinetic model.
