A new solid acid catalyst grafting BF3 center dot Et2O on mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41
A new Solid acid catalyst has been prepared by grafted BF(3)center dot Et2O on mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41. The solid catalyst would effectively promote the opening reaction of epichlovohydrin with isobutanol to form 1-isobutoxy-3-chloropropanol, and showed a nice activity and selectivity.
