New methods and ways of using heterogeneous zeolite catalysts – H-Y, H-Beta, H-MOR, H-ZSM-5 and micro- meso-porous – H-Ymmm and others in organic synthesis were studied. Using the example of available petrochemical compounds such as polyols, olefins, and dienes, the possibilities of carrying out cyclization and condensation reactions in the presence of zeolites of various structural types are shown. It has been established that the H-Beta zeolite catalyst provides a quantitative yield of ethers and esters during the interaction of olefins – substituted vinyl-gem-dichlorocyclopropanes – with linear alcohols and acids, respectively. It has been determined that the condensation of styrene and an equimolar mixture of 4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane and 5-hydroxy-1,3-dioxane in the presence of the H-Beta catalyst proceeds with the formation of ethers, while the ratio of 5 and 6-membered isomeric products = 1.2:1. Multicomponent condensations successfully proceed in one stage in the presence of wide-pore zeolites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
