A Zeolite Imidazolate Framework ZIF-8 Catalyst for Friedel-Crafts Acylation

Metal organic frameworks as heterogeneous catalysts for the production of fine chemicals

“…94 It was also found that activation temperatures from 10 to 200 o C do not practically affect the activity of MIL-100(Fe) in this reaction. 94 Phan et al used IRMOF-8 95 and ZIF-8 96 as catalysts for the benzoylation of toluene and anisole, respectively. Over 50%…”

High yield 1-L scale synthesis of ZIF-8 via a sonochemical route

“…ZIF-8 possesses high thermal and chemical stability [2], and has been tested for gas adsorption and storage of hydrogen [3,4], iodine [5], several organic compounds [6], and as a gas separating membrane [7,8]. ZIF-8 was also tested as a heterogeneous catalyst for Knoevenagel condensation [9], cycloaddition [10], oxidation [11], transesterification [12], and Friedel-Crafts alkylation [13].…”

ZIF-8 as a Catalyst in Ethylene Oxide and Propylene Oxide Reaction with CO2 to Cyclic Organic Carbonates

“…Ethylene oxide (3.0 grade, Union Carbide), propylene oxide (≥99.5%, Sigma Aldrich), and carbon dioxide (4.6 grade, Praxair) were dosed from the gas phase and used as received without Many MOFs have been reported to be able to catalyze the CO 2 cycloaddition to ethylene oxide and propylene oxide in the presence of cocatalysts or solvents [12]. ZIF-8 has proven to be an efficient catalyst for many reactions, such as the Knoevenagel reaction [28], transesterification of vegetable oil [29], and Friedel-Crafts acylation [30]. ZIF-8 has been reported to be suitable for both CO 2 separation and catalysis as well [13,[31][32][33][34].…”
