Abstract: Prins intramolecular cyclization of citronellal giving desired product isopulegol was performed using different modified zeolites BETA (Si/Al ratio 25, 38 and 75 modified with iron or zinc of 1, 5 or 10?wt.% by wet impregnation method). In case of materials BETA Si/Al 38 and 75 led material impregnation with metal to increase of material catalytic activity (accompanied with increase of amount of weak acid sites detected using temperature programmed desorption). Material BETA 38 with loading 1?wt.% of Fe provided 97% citronellal conversion and 94% selectivity of isopulegol formation (90?°C, toluene, 24?h).

The catalytic activity of the zirconium terephthalate UiO-66(Zr) can be drastically increased by using a modulation approach. The combined use of trifluoroacetic acid and HCl during the synthesis results in a highly crystalline material, with partial substitution of terephthalates by trifluoroacetate. Thermal activation of the material leads not only to dehydroxylation of the hexanuclear Zr cluster but also to post-synthetic removal of the trifluoroacetate groups, resulting in a more open framework with a large number of open sites. Consequently, the material is a highly active catalyst for several Lewis acid catalyzed reactions.

Sol-gel prepared ternary FeF3-MgF2 materials have become promising heterogeneous catalysts due to their porosity and surface Lewis/Bronsted acidity (bi-acidity). Despite the good catalytic performance, nanoscopic characterisations of this type of material are still missing and the key factors controlling the surface properties have not yet been identified, impeding both a better understanding and further development of ternary fluoride catalysts. In this study, we characterised the interaction between the bi-acidic component (FeF3) and the matrix (MgF2) on the nano-scale. For the first time, the formation pathway of FeF3-MgF2 was profiled and the template effect of MgF2 during the synthesis process was discovered. Based on these new insights two novel materials, FeF3-CaF2 and FeF3-SrF2, were established, revealing that with decreasing the atomic numbers (from Sr to Mg), the ternary fluorides exhibited increasing surface acidity and surface area but decreasing pore size. These systematic changes gave rise to a panel of catalysts with tuneable surface and bulk properties either by changing the matrix alkaline earth metal fluoride or by adjusting their ratios to Fe or both. The template effect of the alkaline earth metal fluoride matrix was identified as the most probable key factor determining the surface properties and further influencing the catalytic performance in ternary fluoride based catalysts, and paves the way to targeted design of next-generation catalysts with tunable properties.

Sulfonated Hyper-cross-linked Porous Polyacetylene Networks as Versatile Heterogeneous Acid Catalysts
Sekerová, Lada,B?ezinová, Pavlína,Do, Thuy Tran,Vysko?ilová, Eli?ka,Krupka, Ji?í,?erveny, Libor,Havelková, Lucie,Bashta, Bogdana,Sedlá?ek, Jan

Two highly sulfonated micro/mesoporous polymers, P(1,3-DEB)-SO3H and P(1,4-DEB)-SO3H, with permanent porosity, the specific surface area about 550 m2 ? g?1 and the content of SO3H groups of 2.7 mmol ? g?1 were prepared as new acid Porous Polymer Catalysts, PPCs. The PPCs were achieved by easy sulfonation of parent hyper-cross-linked micro/mesoporous polyacetylene-type networks resulting from a chain-growth homopolymerization of 1,3- and 1,4-diethynylbenzenes. New PPCs are reported as highly active and reusable heterogeneous catalysts of esterification of fatty acids with methanol and ethanol, Prins cyclization of aldehydes with isoprenol and intramolecular Prins cyclization of citronellal to isopulegol. The catalytic activity of the micro/mesoporous PPCs (TON values up to 522 mol ? mol?1) was higher than that of commercial polymer-based heterogeneous catalyst Amberlyst 15 possessing gel texture without permanent pores and that of p-toluenesulfonic acid applied as a homogeneous catalyst.

p-Menthane-3,8-diol (PMD) is receiving growing attention as a natural mosquito repellent with lower toxicity compared to the widely-used N,N-diethyl m-toluamide (DEET). In this study, sustainable carbon acid catalysts derived from alkaline lignin (AL) were prepared for synthesizing PMD from a popular chemical (±)-citronellal in an environmentally friendly solvent of water. The catalytic performances of the AL-derived carbon acid catalysts prepared at different pyrolysis temperatures were better than those of other catalysts such as carbon black and H-USY. In particular, when the AL pyrolyzed at 500 °C was used as the carbon acid catalyst, the conversion of (±)-citronellal was as high as 97% with a high PMD yield of 86%, indicating that waste alkaline lignin from pulp and paper industries can be used as a source of acid catalysts. It is found that the formation of PMD is preferred over catalysts with weaker acid sites, whereas isopulegol was more easily formed over stronger acid sites. Moreover, the reaction route of the citronellal cyclization-hydration reaction was more dominant via the carbocation-hydration pathway rather than the isopulegol hydration route on the weaker carbon acid catalyst.
