Direct synthesis of carbon-templating mesoporous ZSM-5 using microwave heating

Carbon-templated mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolites were synthesized directly avoiding a drying process. Carbon nanoparticles were simply mixed into synthesis precursor of ZSM-5 and hydrothermally treated by microwave irradiation. The amount of mesopores formed inside the ZSM-5 single crystals was controllable by adjusting the amount of carbon used. For comparison, mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolites have also been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The influence of microwave irradiation on mesoporous ZSM-5 materials was thoroughly investigated by using nitrogen adsorption/desorption studies and 27Al MAS NMR. The nature of acid sites both in the micropores (internal) and on the surface of mesopores (external) was investigated by in situ FTIR spectroscopy using pyridine (Py) and 2′,6′-di-tert-butylpyridine (DTBPy) as a probe molecules. Mesoporous ZSM-5 prepared by microwave synthesis showed higher catalytic activity in the bulky molecular reaction of 2′,4′- dimethoxyacetophenone (2′,4′-DMAP) with 4-methoxybenzaldehyde as a model reaction in comparison with the results obtained over hydrothermally prepared ZSM-5. The further catalytic behavior has been studied in condensation reaction and cracking of substituted benzene.

Influence of mesoporous materials containing ZSM-5 on alkylation and cracking reactions

In order to increase the yield of cymene in alkylation of toluene with isopropanol, ZSM-5 zeolite units were incorporated into a mesostructured material. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, TGA, SEM, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption and FTIR of pyridine adsorption. XRD analysis indicated that a structurally well ordered cubic MCM-48 aluminosilicate was successfully assembled from ZSM-5 zeolite seeds. The ZSM-5/MCM-48 catalyst exhibited significantly improved toluene conversion and yield of cymene product for toluene isopropylation. Catalytic tests show that the ZSM-5/MCM-48 composite material exhibits high catalytic activity compared with the conventional Y-zeolite for catalytic cracking of 1,3,5- triisopropylbenzene (TIPB). The exceptional catalytic performance of ZSM-5/MCM-48 catalyst in cracking and alkylation reaction was attributed to the easier access of active sites provided by the mesopores for both reactant and larger product molecules. The apparent activation energies for the cracking of 1,3,5-TIPB over ZSM-5/MCM-48 catalyst were found to decrease as follows: E C/CM-3 (tertiary cracking) > E C/CM-4 (disproportionation) > E C/CM-2 (secondary cracking) > E C/CM-1 (primary cracking).

Facile Hydrogenolysis of C(sp3)–C(sp3) σ Bonds

The modification of benzylic quaternary, tertiary, and secondary carbon centers through palladium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of C(sp3)–C(sp3) σ bonds is presented. When benzyl Meldrum's acid derivatives bearing quaternary benzylic centers are treated under mild hydrogenolysis conditions – palladium on carbon and atmospheric pressure of hydrogen – aromatics substituted with tertiary benzylic centers and Meldrum's acid are obtained with good to excellent yield. Analogously, substrates containing tertiary or secondary benzylic centers yield aromatics substituted with secondary benzylic centers or toluene derivatives, respectively. Furthermore, this strategy is used for the high yielding synthesis of diarylmethanes. The scope of the reductive dealkylation reaction is explored and the limitations with respect to steric and electronic factors are determined. A mechanistic analysis of the reaction is described that consisted of deuterium labelling experiments and hydrogenolysis of enantioenriched derivatives. The investigation shows that the C(sp3)–C(sp3) σ bond-cleaving events occur through a hybrid SN1/SN2 mechanism, in which the palladium center displaces a carbon-based leaving group, namely Meldrum's acid, with inversion of configuration, followed by reductive elimination of palladium to furnish a C?H bond.
