Martins A, Amaro B, Santos MSCS, Nunes N, Elvas-Leitão R, Carvalho AP. Hierarchical Zeolites Prepared Using a Surfactant-Mediated Strategy: ZSM-5 vs. Y as Catalysts for Friedel-Crafts Acylation Reaction. Molecules 2024; 29:517. [PMID: 38276595 PMCID: PMC10818646 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29020517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Hierarchical ZSM5 and Y zeolites were prepared through a surfactant-mediated strategy with NH4OH changing the duration of the treatment and the amount of CTAB surfactant and taking as reference multiples of the critical micellar concentration (CMC). The materials were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption isotherms at -196 °C, and SEM and TEM microscopy. The catalytic performance was evaluated in Friedel-Crafts acylation of furan with acetic anhydride at 80 °C. The alkaline surfactant-mediated treatment had different effects on the two zeolites. For ZSM5, the CTAB molecular aggregates can hardly diffuse inside the medium-size pores, leading mainly to intercrystalline mesoporosity and increased external surface area, with no positive catalytic impact. On the other hand, for large-pore Y zeolite, the CTAB molecular aggregates can easily diffuse and promote the rearrangement of crystal units around micelles, causing the enlargement of the pores, i.e., intracrystalline porosity. The optimized Y-based sample, treated for 12 h with a CTAB amount 32 times the CMC, shows an increase in product yield and rate constant that was not observed when a higher amount of surfactant was added. The reuse of spent catalysts upon thermal treatment at 400 °C shows a regeneration efficiency around 90%, showing good potentialities for the modified catalysts.

Exploring the Effect of Hierarchical Porosity in BEA Zeolite in Friedel-Crafts Acylation of Furan and Benzofuran. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
Hierarchical BEA zeolite was prepared through desilication or desilication followed by acid treatment. The catalytic performance of BEA zeolite samples was evaluated using Friedel-Crafts acylations with two substrates of different molecular sizes, furan (5.7 Å) and benzofuran (6.9 Å), in the presence of acetic anhydride as acylating agent. The application of the simplified Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model showed that the size of the substrate leads to different catalytic activities, with improved rate constant and turnover frequency (TOF) solely in the presence of benzofuran for both desilicated and further acid treated samples. The mesopores developed during the zeolite treatments have an important role as transportation channels by reducing diffusion limitations. The application of Quantitative Structure–Property Relationships (QSPR) allowed the finding of the most relevant properties of the zeolite and substrate with impact on the catalytic parameters.

Catalytic Performance and Sulfur Dioxide Resistance of One-Pot Synthesized Fe-MCM-22 in Selective Catalytic Reduction of Nitrogen Oxides with Ammonia (NH3-SCR)—The Effect of Iron Content. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231810754. [PMID: 36142666 PMCID: PMC9501588 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231810754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The catalytic performance of Fe-catalysts in selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia (NH3-SCR) strongly depends on the nature of iron sites. Therefore, we aimed to prepare and investigate the catalytic potential of Fe-MCM-22 with various Si/Fe molar ratios in NH3-SCR. The samples were prepared by the one-pot synthesis method to provide high dispersion of iron and reduce the number of synthesis steps. We have found that the sample with the lowest concentration of Fe exhibited the highest catalytic activity of ca. 100% at 175 °C, due to the abundance of well-dispersed isolated iron species. The decrease of Si/Fe limited the formation of microporous structure and resulted in partial amorphization, formation of iron oxide clusters, and emission of N2O during the catalytic reaction. However, an optimal concentration of FexOy oligomers contributed to the decomposition of nitrous oxide within 250–400 °C. Moreover, the acidic character of the catalysts was not a key factor determining the high conversion of NO. Additionally, we conducted NH3-SCR catalytic tests over the samples after poisoning with sulfur dioxide (SO2). We observed that SO2 affected the catalytic performance mainly in the low-temperature region, due to the deposition of thermally unstable ammonium sulfates.

Abstract
A gallium-containing MCM-22 (Mobil Composition of Matter No. 22) zeolite material was prepared using a simple hydrothermal method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis and powder X-ray diffraction provide evidence of the formation of a pure MCM-22 phase framework and an MWW (MCM-tWenty-tWo) structure. Scanning electron microscopy images showed a uniform spherical shape, interpenetrating the platelet structure and a uniform particle size of approximately 6 μm. 71Ga nuclear magnetic resonance studies confirmed the presence of gallium in both the tetrahedral framework and the octahedral extra-framework environment. From the sorption studies, the presence of strong acidic sites and the microporous nature of the material were evident. The resultant Ga-MCM-22 material showed an excellent isolated yield of 95% in the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones by cyclocondensation of anthranilamide with aldehydes in ethanol. The scope of the reaction was further explored by employing various cyclic, aromatic, and aliphatic aldehydes with anthranilamide. The results provide a very good yield (85-95%). A significant advantage of the developed protocol includes high yield, use of a green solvent, and easy removal of the catalyst through filtration within a short reaction time.

Abstract
Stable HBEA zeolite with high surface area and strong acid sites was synthesized from coal fly ash–based silica extract via indirect hydrothermal synthesis. The rapid HBEA hydrothermal crystallization times of 8, 10, and 12 h were achieved through a reduced molar water fraction in the synthesis composition. The HBEA zeolites prepared from fly ash silica extract exhibited well-defined spheroidal-shaped crystal morphology with uniform particle sizes of 192, 190, or 239 nm obtained after 8, 10, or 12 h of synthesis time, respectively. The high surface area and the microporous area of 702 and 722 m2/g were achieved as a function of shorter hydrothermal synthesis durations (10 and 24 h, respectively) compared to 48 or 72 h, which resulted in HBEA zeolites with lower surface areas of 538 and 670 m2/g. Likewise, temperature-programmed desorption measurements of fly ash–based HBEA zeolites revealed the presence of weak and strong acid sites in the zeolite. The submicron crystal sizes with a well-defined porosity of HBEA zeolites enhanced the diffusion of anisole and benzoyl chloride molecules toward the active acid sites and hence showed better conversion and selectivity in acylation products. High conversion of benzoyl chloride with anisole was achieved, reaching up to 83% with a 93–96% selectivity toward 4-methoxyacetophenone.

Abstract
Attempts to optimize heterogeneous catalysis often lack quantitative comparative analysis. The use of kinetic modelling leads to rate (k) and relative sorption equilibrium constants (K), which can be further rationalized using Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships (QSPR) based on Multiple Linear Regressions (MLR). Friedel-Crafts acylation using commercial and hierarchical BEA zeolites as heterogeneous catalysts, acetic anhydride as the acylating agent, and a set of seven substrates with different sizes and chemical functionalities were herein studied. Catalytic results were correlated with the physicochemical properties of substrates and catalysts. From this analysis, a robust set of equations was obtained allowing inferences about the dominant factors governing the processes. Not entirely surprising, the rate and sorption equilibrium constants were found to be explained in part by common factors but of opposite signs: higher and stronger adsorption forces increase reaction rates, but they also make the zeolite active sites less accessible to new reactant molecules. The most relevant parameters are related to the substrates’ molecular size, which can be associated with different reaction steps, namely accessibility to micropores, diffusion capacity, and polarizability of molecules. The relatively large set of substrates used here reinforces previous findings and brings further insights into the factors that hamper/speed up Friedel-Crafts reactions in heterogeneous media.

Abstract
Friedel-Crafts reaction is one of the most useful synthetic tools in organic chemistry, mainly
in the synthesis of aromatic ketones. The active catalysts for this reaction are modified zeolites and are
preferable catalysts when shape selectivity affects the formation of the expected product. In this review,
our aim is to corroborate recent literature available on zeolite catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation
and acylation reaction.
