- Hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite with uniform mesopores and improved catalytic properties
-
Hierarchical ZSM-5 with uniform mesoporosity was synthesized by the sequential coupling of two strategies: generation of secondary porosity by the crystallization of silanized protozeolitic units and a subsequent treatment with a basic surfactant-containing solution. The ZSM-5 zeolite obtained exhibited high crystallinity and contained two levels of uniform porosities within the micro- and mesopore ranges, respectively. The uniform mesoporosity is the result of the reorganization of irregular mesopores, created initially from the silanized protozeolitic units, via the local rearrangement of zeolitic fragments, and promoted by contact with a cationic surfactant under mild basic conditions. Interestingly, this second treatment was less effective when it is applied to a non-hierarchical ZSM-5 sample, showing that the presence of initial secondary porosity is essential for allowing the surfactant/ammonia solution to modify the zeolite and form uniform mesopores. Characterization of the zeolite samples using different techniques showed that the crystallinity, Al coordination and acidic features of the zeolite do not change significantly after the mesopore narrowing treatment, even though significant variations in the textural properties are observed as expected. The effects of the occurrence of regular mesoporosity on the catalytic properties of the hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite were proven using the acylation of 2-methoxynaphthalene as a test reaction. The material with uniform mesopores showed both the highest activity and selectivity towards 6-acetyl-2-methoxynaphthalene, which was interpreted as the result of the presence of a more regular and less rough mesopore surface, which in turn facilitated the interaction between the reactant molecules and the active sites located and distributed over the mesopores.

- Mechanism of 1-Acetyl-2-methoxynaphthalene Isomerisation over a HBEA Zeolite
-
Over HBEA, liquid phase acetylation of 2-methoxynaphthalene (2-MN) by acetic anhydride leads directly to 1-acetyl-2-methoxy-naphthalene (I), to 2-acetyl-6-methoxynaphthalene (II), and to a small amount of 1-acetyl-7-methoxynaphthalene (III). At a long contact time, isomer I undergoes deacylation into 2-MN and isomerisation into II and III. Isomerisation of I is much faster in the presence of 2-MN than in its absence, which suggests that this reaction occurs through an intermolecular transacylation mechanism. The transformation of isomer I with a deuterated methoxy group (OCD3) in the presence of 2-MN shows that isomer II results only from this mechanism whereas an intramolecular mechanism participates also in the formation of isomer III.

- Acetylation of 2-methoxynaphtalene with acetic anhidryde over Zr4+-zeolite beta
-
Regioselective acetylation of 2-methoxy naphthalene (2-MN) to 2-acetyl-6-methoxy naphthalene (2,6-ACMN) is the important step in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds such as (S)-naproxen. The liquid phase acetylation of 2-MN with acetic anhydride over Zr4+-zeolite beta catalyst was investigated under controlled reaction conditions. Catalyst was prepared by ion exchange and impregnation method. Zr4+-zeolite beta(ie) was obtained by ion exchange that done with 0,5 M ZrCl4 then calcined at 550°C for 3 h and Zr4+-zeolite beta(ip) was obtained by impregnation method. Catalytic activity of catalysts was affected by preparing method, temperature, and reaction solvent. Catalyst that prepared by impregnation showed inactive on acetylation of 2-MN. 1-Acetyl-2-methoxynaphtalene (1,2-ACMN), 1-acetyl-7-methoxy-naphtalene (1,7-ACMN), and 2-acetyl-6-methoxy naphthalene (2,6-ACMN) were identified as the products of 2-MN acetylation over Zr4+-zeolite beta(ie) without solvent. Activity and selectivity of Zr4+-zeolite beta(ie) was increased in dichloromethane solvent at 140°C for 36 h, 1,8-ACMN was not identified and ratio of 1,2-ACMN to 2,6-ACMN was 1,6:1.

- Acetylation of aromatic compounds over H-BEA zeolite: The influence of the substituents on the reactivity and on the catalyst stability
-
The acylation with acetic anhydride of six aromatic substrates with different features (degree of activation of the aromatic ring towards electrophilic substitution, number of rings, i.e., 1 or 2) was carried out in a batch reactor at 373 K over a H-BEA zeolite (Si/Al = 15) with nitrobenzene as a solvent. The acetylation rate was found to be very dependent on the degree of ring activation, with diffusion limitations playing only a limited role. The decrease of the rate with reaction time, which was very pronounced with poorly activated and deactivated substrates, is mainly due to the inhibiting effect of acetic acid and of the products of acetic anhydride condensation.

- Zeolite catalysts for fine chemicals synthesis. Acetylation of 2-methoxynaphthalene
-
Acetylation of 1-methoxynaphthalene into 2-acetyl-6-methoxynaphthalene, which is a precursor of the anti-inflammatory S-Naproxen, was chosen as an example to show the great potentialities of zeolite catalysts for substituting polluting and corrosive Friedel-Crafts catalysts. A selective and clean process can be developed using acetic anhydride, as acylating agent, and a HBEA zeolite with a Si/Al ratio between 20 and 40 and without extraframework aluminum species, as catalyst. Adsorption experiments demonstrate that all the acetyl-methoxynaphthalene isomers can enter the BEA micropores hence can be formed within these pores. The strong interactions between the polar molecules of reactants and products and the micropore walls were shown to determine both the reaction scheme and the mechanisms. These interactions play a more important role than product shape selectivity in the kinetically limiting desorption of products.

- Acylation of 2-Methoxynaphthalene with Acyl Clorides in the Presence of a Catalytic Amount of Lewis Acids
-
The regiochemistry of the reaction of 2-methoxynaphthalene 1 with benzoyl chloride 2a using a catalytic amount of Lewis acid is strongly influenced by the identity of the acid catalyst employed as well as by the reaction temperature.By using InCl3, FeCl3, SnCl4 or ZnCl2 and heating at 160 deg C, 2-benzoyl-6-methoxynaphthalene 4a is selectively produced along with 1-benzoyl-7-methoxynaphthalene 5a, while in the case of AlCl3, SbCl5 or TiCl4, 1-benzoyl-2-methoxynaphthalene 3a is the major product. 2-Acyl-6-methoxynaphthalenes 4b-e can be selectively obtained using InCl3 and the corresponding acyl chlorides 2b-e in place of 2a.In the presence of a stoichiometric amount of InCl3, the reaction of 1 with 2a also gives 4a as the predominant product along with 5a even at 50 deg C.This reaction appears to involve isomerisation of 3a to 4a and 5a.
