without any further treatment. As shown in Figure 7, only
a slight drop of activity was observed after 5 cycles. The
total acid sites of catalyst after fifth used (0.411 mmol/g)
were nearly the same as the fresh catalyst (0.415 mmol/g).
This result suggested that the GST catalyst was very sta-
ble. Together with the superior activity, 1.5% GST is a
promising solid catalyst for aldol reaction.

4. CONCLUSIONS
We prepared a series of Ga2O3 doped sulfonated tin oxides
by co-precipitation method in ethanol solution, followed
by sulfonation and calcination. Compared with sulfonated

tin oxide, a small addition of Ga2O3 to sulfonated tin
oxide resulted in a decreased tin oxide crystallite size and
increased surface area. In addition, Ga2O3 could help to
stabilize the surface sulfate complexes and increase the
effective acid sites on the catalysts. The Ga2O3 doped
sulfonated tin oxide catalysts exhibited much higher cat-
alytic activities than SO24−/SnO2, SO42−/ZrO2 and H3PO4 in
aldol condensation of prenal and prenol for citral precur-
sor synthesis. The Ga2O3-doped catalyst with 1.5% Ga2O3
showed the highest catalytic performance. Furthermore, no
obvious catalyst activity loss was observed after 5 cycles,
indicating the good recyclability.
