Higher aluminum content, higher reaction temperatures, and longer run duration favor the formation of the ring compound 2,3-dihydro-2-methyl benzofuran. There is a close relationship between acidity and conversion, which suggests that the reaction occurs inside the large pores of MCM-41. The influence of temperature and catalyst Si/Al ratio on the reaction are examined by kinetic analysis, under the assumption of a first-order consecutive reaction. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc.

The acidic properties of these catalysts were determined by FTIR spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption of pyridine and NH3, respectively. The mesoporous solid acids of the present study are reusable and exhibit significantly higher catalytic activities than known catalysts for opening of the oxirane ring with nitrogen (aromatic and aliphatic amines)-containing and oxygen (alcohols)-containing nucleophiles. A range of beta-amino, alcohols with high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity were synthesized. Adsorption studies as well as the sigmoid shape of the conversion- versus-time plots show that the epoxide and amine compete for adsorption on the acidic sites (-SO3H or Ti4+) on the catalyst surface. Epoxide adsorption and activation on acid sites are the more critical processes. Catalytic activity decreases with increasing basicity of the amines and/or the alcohol, as well as the dielectric constant of the solvent. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc.

Diethylbenzene is an important raw material for the conversion of divinyl benzene monomer. Conventionally, it is prepared from diacetophenone by reduction. It is also prepared by vapor phase alkylation of ethylbenzene with ethylene using zeolitic catalysts. The efficacy of dodecatungsotphosphoric acid (DTPA) supported on acid treated clay has been evaluated in the current work in the alkylation of ethylbenzene with 80% (w/w) ethanol. 15% (w/w) DTPA/K-10 clay was found to be an efficient and robust catalyst. The use of aqueous ethanol and a mixed C-8 stream lowers the cost of production. A kinetic model is developed by studying the important process parameters with 15% (w/w) DTPA/K-10 as the catalyst.

Ammonia TPD studies of various catalysts showed that an appropriate combination of both strong and weak acid sites of montmorillonite was mainly responsible rather than only the stronger acidity of bulk DTP for its highest catalytic activity for selective hydroxyalkylation of p-cresol to DAM. The selectivity to DAM could be enhanced by adjusting reaction conditions like mole ratio of p-cresol to formaldehyde, reaction temperature, catalyst concentration, solvent and reaction time.

	Ion-exchange (IE) resins are widely used as solid acid catalysts; however, their surface acidity remains poorly characterized because their limited thermal stability precludes conventional NH3-based acidity measurements. Moreover, acid-site accessibility in IE resins is strongly governed by solvent- or reactant-induced swelling. Here, we investigate the surface acidity of commercial Amberlyst and Indion IE resins using &amp;amp; sup3;&amp;amp; sup1;P MAS NMR (Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), employing TMPO as a molecular probe dispersed on the resin with moderately swelling dichloromethane, thereby capturing the swollen-state acidity relevant for predicting catalytic activity. The deconvolution of the P-31 MAS NMR spectra reveals three distinct acid-strength zones arising from inhomogeneous sulfonation of the polymer matrix. The overall acidity, quantified by the area-weighted average P-31 chemical shift (delta), increases monotonically with sulfonation density. Notably, only resins containing acid sites stronger than similar to 80 ppm exhibited measurable catalytic activity in alpha-pinene isomerization, establishing a direct correlation between acidity and activity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on representative resin models, supported by electron-density analyses, attribute the enhancement of acid strength at higher sulfonation densities to cooperative hydrogen-bonding networks among neighboring sulfonic acid groups. Together, these findings establish P-31 MAS NMR-derived surface acidity as a catalytically relevant descriptor for the rational selection of IE resins in liquid phase acid-catalyzed chemistries.&lt;/p&gt;
