CeZSM‐5 — A Designer′s Catalyst for Selective Synthesis of Octahydroacridine.

Abstract

Zeolite HZSM-5 is identified as efficient catalyst for the conversion of cyclohexanone (I), formaldehyde (II) and ammonia to title compound (III). Further modification with Ce 3+ increases selectivity to form (III) in 92% yield. -(RATNAMALA, A.; KUMARI*, V. D.; SUBRAHMANYAM, M.; ARCHANA, N.; Chem. Commun.
