High aluminum containing nanoporous aluminosilicate materials, produced by an evaporation-induced self-assembly process, efficiently catalyze the formation of unsymmetrical ethers by a dehydrative etherification reaction in high isolated yields. By carrying out the reaction under dilute conditions, the quantities of reagents can be reduced to near stoichiometric quantities.
Nanoporous Aluminosilicate Catalyzed Friedel-Crafts Alkylation Reactions of Indoles with Aldehydes and Acetals. -An efficient catalyst is used in the presented synthesis. The reaction of the compound (I) with acetals gives better yields than with aldehydes. -(KUBCZYK, T. M.; WILLIAMS, S. M.; KEAN, J. R.; DAVIES, T. E.; TAYLOR, S. H.; GRAHAM*, A.
