Interlayer expansion of layered zeolite precursors is achieved via the insertion of an additional T-atom in between the layers, typically by means of a silylating agent as source of the T-atom. (3-Mercaptopropyl) methyldimethoxysilane was used as Si-source in the interlayer expansion of the layered zeolite precursors RUB-36 and RUB-39. The structure expansion was confirmed with PXRD. The incorporation of the silylating agent was followed with 29Si MAS NMR, 13C CP MAS NMR and thermogravimetric analysis. The incorporated thiol groups were oxidized with H2O 2 to obtain sulfonic acid groups in between the layers. 13C CP MAS NMR was used to characterize the organic species and monitor the conversion of thiol to propylsulfonic groups. The shape-selective properties of the obtained materials were investigated in acid-catalyzed tetrahydropyranylation reactions.

An integral part of modern organocatalysis is the development and application of thiourea catalysts. Here, as part of our program aimed at developing cyclopropenium catalysts, the synthesis of a thiourea-cyclopropenium organocatalyst with both cationic hydrogen-bond donor and electrostatic character is reported. The utility of the this thiourea organocatalyst is showcased in pyranylation reactions employing phenols, primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols under operationally simple and mild reaction conditions for a broad substrate scope. The addition of benzoic acid as a co-catalyst facilitating cooperative Br?nsted acid catalysis was found to be valuable for reactions involving phenols and higher substituted alcohols. Mechanistic investigations, including kinetic and 1H NMR binding studies in conjunction with density function theory calculations, are described that collectively support a Br?nsted acid mode of catalysis.
Metal benzenesulfonates/acetic acid mixtures as novel catalytic systems: Application to the protection of a hydroxyl group

A surprising synergistic effect has been discovered in mixtures of metal benzenesulfonates (Co, Al, Ni, Zn, Cd, Pr, La, Cu, Mn) and acetic acid, leading to active catalytic systems for the tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols to produce tetrahydropyranyl ethers. All reactions proceed mildly and efficiently with moderate to high yields at room temperature without solvent. After the reaction, the metal benzenesulfonate can be easily recovered and reused many times. The efficiency of these systems might result from the "double activation" by Bronsted and Lewis acid catalysis.
