Construction of Acid–Base Synergetic Sites on Mg‐bearing BEA Zeolites Triggers the Unexpected Low‐Temperature Alkylation of Phenol

Abstract: Novel Mg‐bearing BEA zeolites are synthesized to simultaneously endow significantly enhanced basicity without compromising acidity over the zeolite framework. Serving as efficient solid acid–base bifunctional catalysts, they achieve the liquid‐phase selective methylation of phenol with methanol to produce o‐ and p‐cresol (o/p=2) under mild conditions. The method is readily extendable to the alkylation of phenols with various alcohols. Stereo‐ and regioselectivity (>95 % for p‐product) was attained on the alkyl… Show more

“…Owing to tunable porosity and molecule shape selectivity, zeolites can be used as adsorbent, ion-exchange material and catalysts, and so on [7][8][9][10][11]. A large variety of reactions such as cracking, isomerization, dewaxing, dehydration, hydrodeoxygenation and alkylation can be accomplished with microporous zeolites [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Moreover, the applications of zeolites in the fields of separation, chemical sensors, anticorrosive coating, low-k materials, and hydrophilic antimicrobial coatings are a research hotspot at present [19][20][21][22].…”
