Sulfated Mesoporous Tantalum Oxides in the Shape Selective Synthesis of Linear Alkyl Benzene

Abstract: Tantal(izing) catalysis: Mesoporous tantalum oxides were treated with 1.0 M sulfuric acid and evaluated for their catalytic activity and selectivity to 2‐phenyl isomers in the alkylation of benzene with bulky olefins (see scheme). The sulfated mesoporous Ta oxide showed comparable activity to H‐Y zeolite, but much higher 2‐phenyldodecane selectivity in mild reaction conditions. The high activity and selectivity was rationalized by the eased diffusion of bulky reactants in the mesoporous frames.

“…175 H 2 SO 4 or H 3 PO 4 treated mesoporous Nb 2 O 5 and Ta 2 O 5 were investigated for benzylation reactions. 176,177 The acid site density of sulfated mesoporous Nb 2 O 5 was 31.78 mmol g À1 , higher than that of bulk sulfated zirconia. Ordered amorphous mesoporous Ta 2 O 5 with different pore sizes was prepared by variation of the carbon chain length of the primary alkyl amine templates (C6, C12, and C18).…”

“…Ours results was superior to those present in the literature. 18 The catalytic properties of niobium oxide were evaluated in the alkylation reaction of dodecene with benzene. At 80 o C and a benzene /dodecene molar ratio 10/1 the conversion was 1.2% after 30 min.…”

“…At 80 o C and a benzene /dodecene molar ratio 10/1 the conversion was 1.2% after 30 min. 18 The alkylation of anisole with 1-octene and 1-dodecene over niobium phosphate resulted mainly in the formation of monoalkylated products ( Table 2, entry 1 and 2).…”

“…The mesopores in the oxide allow the reactants to access additional active acid sites in the pores, resulting in improved rates of acid catalysis. Mesoporous niobium oxides and tantalum oxides treated with phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid have been examined as solid acid catalysts [57][58][59]. These mesoporous oxides exhibited remarkable activity in Friedel-Crafts alkylation and 1-hexene isomerization in the liquid phase.…”

“…These mesoporous oxides exhibited remarkable activity in Friedel-Crafts alkylation and 1-hexene isomerization in the liquid phase. For sulfated mesoporous tantalum oxides (SO 4 2− /m-Ta 2 O 5 ), the effect of pore size has been investigated using normal amine surfactants with different chain lengths including 1-hexylamine (C6), 1-dodecylamine (C12), and 1-octadecylamine (C18) [58,59]. For both 1-hexene isomerization and benzene alkylation with 1-dodecene, SO 4 2− /m-Ta 2 O 5 with a small pore size of 1.2 nm (C6) and a large pore size of 2.3 nm (C18) were found to exhibit much lower activity than SO 4 2− /m-Ta 2 O 5 with a medium pore size of 1.8 nm (C12), which afforded excellent results.…”
