Symmetric ethers can be synthesized through the acid-catalyzed self-etherification of biomass-derived alcohols. However, synthesis of asymmetric ethers via catalytic cross-etherification of alcohols is limited by poor selectivity. Herein, we developed an efficient zeolite-catalyzed one-step synthesis of valuable asymmetric cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) using gas-phase reaction of bio-based cyclopentanol and methanol. Among different medium- (FER, MCM-22, ZSM-5) and large-pore (BEA, MOR, USY) aluminosilicate zeolites, commercial ZSM-5 catalysts with 2D system of intersecting channels are markedly more selective to CPME. The targeted CPME was produced with a selectivity of 83 % and a yield higher than 80 % over the ZSM-5 catalysts with Si/Al ratios ranging from 15 to 40. Decrease in Si/Al ratio in ZSM-5 enhanced the conversion value, while not affecting the selectivity. FTIR study of the step-by-step adsorption of both reactants in ZSM-5 evidenced the Rideal-Eley mechanism with cyclopentanol adsorbed on acid sites. Therefore, heterogeneously catalyzed gas-phase cross-etherification of renewable cyclopentanol and methanol is a promising process for large-scale applications thanks to its mild operating conditions, high yields and selectivity when using commercial ZSM-5 zeolites as catalysts.

The present invention is a method for producing a cyclopentyl alkyl ether compound comprising reacting substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentene with an alcohol compound represented by a formula (2): R1OH in the presence of an acidic zeolite, the cyclopentyl alkyl ether compound being represented by a formula (1): R1—O—R2, wherein R1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group having 3 to 8 carbon atoms, and R2 represents a substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentyl group. The present invention provides a method that can produce a cyclopentyl alkyl ether with high reaction efficiency through a liquid-phase reaction even when the raw material feed rate (amount) is increased.

Paragraph 0026; 0027; 0034, (2016/10/27)
The invention discloses a method for producing cyclopentyl methyl ether. According to the method, cyclopentene and methanol used as the raw materials are subjected to etherification reaction to produce cyclopentyl methyl ether, and the method comprises the following steps: (1) etherification, i.e. cyclopentene and methanol are mixed and heated for gasification to perform etherification reaction through a strong acid cation exchange resin fixed bed, the volume liquid hourly space velocity of the materials is controlled at 0.5-4.0 hr-1, the system pressure is controlled at 0.01-0.10 MPa, the feeding temperature is 75-90 DEG C, the mol ratio of cyclopentene to methanol is 1:(0.5-0.8); (2) regeneration, i.e. in the process of etherification, when the conversion rate of cyclopentene is reduced to 10.0 percent below, feeding is stopped and catalyst is regenerated under the conditions that the materials for etherification reaction are used as a regeneration solvent, the volume liquid hourly space velocity of the materials is controlled at 0.1-1.0 hr-1, the system pressure is controlled at 0.3-1.0 MPa, the feeding temperature is 20-90 DEG C, and the regeneration time is 10-30 hours. According to the method for producing cyclopentyl methyl ether, the activity stability of the catalyst is achieved by using the catalytic etherification-regeneration-catalytic etherification circulation process of the resin catalyst, so that the service life and the use period of the catalyst are prolonged, and the regeneration is simple, and the method is easy to achieve industrial operation.
