The synthesis of pyridines has been performed by a multi-component reaction of ethanol, formaldehyde, and ammonia in the presence of H-Beta, H-ZSM-12, and H-ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts. The maximum activity in the reaction is revealed by H-Beta zeolite; the conversion of ethanol induced by it reached 70% (400°C, 2 h -1 ). The main products of the reaction in the presence of H-Beta and H-ZSM-5 zeolites are pyridine and picolines; on H-ZSM-12 picolines and lutidines. Thus, the results of the studying the effect of reaction parameters are showed that the yield of lutidine and heavy products increases with the increase of the temperature (from 200 to 400°C) and the decrease of the weight hourly space velocity (from 10 to 2 h -1 ).
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.
