- Kinetics and Mechanism of 1,3-Dioxolane Formation from Substituted Benzaldehydes with Ethylene Oxide in the Presence of Tetrabutylammonium Halides
-
Kinetic measurements of the reaction among eight substituted benzaldehydes and ethylene oxide in the presence of catalytic amounts of tetrabutylammonium halides have been performed.With poor electrophilic aldehydes the rate-determining step of the reaction is the nucleophilic attack of the halogeno ethoxide anion to the carbonyl group while with rich electrophilic aldehydes the rate-determining step becomes the ring opening of ethylene oxide by the halide anion.Hammet correlations and kinetic results confirm these proposed mechanisms.

-
The applications of a new supported tribromide reagent (poly(vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium tribromide) resin) were reported. This supported tribromide resin was used as a catalyst in the acetalization and diacetylation of benzaldehydes under mild conditions with high efficiency. The effects of solvents, and amount of the supported tribromide resin on the reactions were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, most of acetal and 1,1-diacetates of benzaldehydes were selectively obtained in excellent yields.

- Inhibition by Water during Heterogeneous Br?nsted Acid Catalysis by Three-Dimensional Crystalline Organic Salts
-
A new self-assembled and self-healing class of metal free, recyclable, heterogeneous Br?nsted acid catalysts has been developed by the protonation of aniline derivatives (tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)methane, leuco-crystal violet, benzidine, and p-phenylenediamine) with aromatic sulfonic acids (tetrakis(phenyl-4-sulfonic acid)methane, and 2,6-naphthalenedisulfonic acid). As a result, five three-dimensional crystalline organic salts (F-1a, F-1b, F-1c, F-2, and F-3) were obtained, linked by hydrogen bonds and additionally stabilized by the opposite charges of the components. Frameworks F-2 and F-3 were prepared for the first time and characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray structural analysis (for F-2), thermogravimetry, SEM, and FTIR spectroscopy. The catalytic activities of crystalline organic salts F-1-3 have been explored in industrially important epoxide ring-opening and acetal formation reactions. The presence of encapsulated water inside frameworks F-1a and F-2 had an inhibitory effect on the performance of the catalysts. X-ray diffraction analysis of hydrated and dehydrated samples of F-1a and F-2 indicated that water of crystallization served as a cross-linking agent, diminishing the substrate induced "breathing"affinities of the frameworks.

- Highly selective reductive catalytic fractionation at atmospheric pressure without hydrogen
-
Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) is an efficient and selective way to produce phenolic monomers from lignin. However, this strategy is difficult to scale up due to its high operating pressure. In this work, we investigated RCF reaction at or near atmospheric pressure and without the use of hydrogen. The atmospheric RCF (ARCF) was conducted in acidified ethylene glycol in glass vessels at 185-195 °C catalyzed by 5% Ru/C. The products mainly include propylguaiacol and propylsyringyl (up to 95.6% among the lignin monomers) and do not contain propanolguaiacol, propanolsyringyl, or H monomers. Although the total yield of lignin monomers in ARCF is about one-quarter less than that of RCF, the operation of ARCF is much easier, milder, safer, and cheaper due to the atmospheric condition and the feasibility of the semi-continuous operation.

A nickel-catalyzed reductive decyanation of aromatic nitriles has been developed, in which the readily available and abundant ethanol was applied as the hydride donor. Various functional groups on the aromatic rings, such as alkoxyl, amino, imino and amide, were compatible in this catalytic protocol. Heteroaryl, benzylic and alkenyl nitriles were also tolerated. Mechanistic investigation indicated that ethanol provided hydride efficientlyviaβ-hydride elimination in this reductive decyanation.

- An Intramolecular Iodine-Catalyzed C(sp3)?H Oxidation as a Versatile Tool for the Synthesis of Tetrahydrofurans
-
The formation of ubiquitous occurring tetrahydrofuran patterns has been extensively investigated in the 1960s as it was one of the first examples of a non-directed remote C?H activation. These approaches suffer from the use of toxic transition metals in overstoichiometric amounts. An attractive metal-free solution for transforming carbon-hydrogen bonds into carbon-oxygen bonds lies in applying economically and ecologically favorable iodine reagents. The presented method involves an intertwined catalytic cycle of a radical chain reaction and an iodine(I/III) redox couple by selectively activating a remote C(sp3)?H bond under visible-light irradiation. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions, is operationally simple and tolerates many functional groups giving fast and easy access to different substituted tetrahydrofurans.

A mechanistically divergent method is described that, employing a commercially available hypervalent iodine(III) reagent, generates alkoxy radicals from 1°, 2°, and 3° alcohols and allows their use in the functionalization of C(sp3)-H and C(sp2)-H bonds. This visible-light photoredox catalysis produces alkyl ethers via 1,5/6-hydrogen atom transfer or aryl ethers via 1,5-addition. This mild methodology provides a practical strategy for the synthesis of acetals, orthoesters, tetrahydrofurans, and chromanes.

- Hydrodebromination of Aromatic Bromides Catalyzed by Unsupported Nanoporous Gold: Heterolytic Cleavage of Hydrogen Molecule
-
Unsupported nanoporous gold (AuNPore) is a highly efficient, practically applicable, and recyclable catalyst for hydrodebromination of aromatic bromides. The AuNPore-catalyzed hydrodebromination of aromatic bromides proceeded smoothly at relatively low hydrogen pressure and temperature to achieve good to excellent yields of the corresponding non-bromine variants. The selective hydrodebromination reaction occurred exclusively in the coexistence of chlorine atom. For the first time, a mechanistic study revealed that the H?H bond splits in a heterolysis manner on the surface of AuNPore to generate Au?H hydride species.

- Exploiting the radical reactivity of diazaphosphinanes in hydrodehalogenations and cascade cyclizations
-
The remarkable reducibility of diazaphosphinanes has been extensively applied in various hydrogenations, based on and yet limited by their well-known hydridic reactivity. Here we exploited their unprecedented radical reactivity to implement hydrodehalogenations and cascade cyclizations originally inaccessible by hydride transfer. These reactions feature a broad substrate scope, high efficiency and simplicity of manipulation. Mechanistic studies suggested a radical chain process in which a phosphinyl radical is generated in a catalytic cycle via hydrogen-atom transfer from diazaphosphinanes. The radical reactivity of diazaphosphinanes disclosed here differs from their well-established hydridic reactivity, and hence, opens a new avenue for diazaphosphinane applications in organic syntheses.

- Facile synthesis of acetal over a supported novel Br?nsted and lewis acid ionic liquid catalyst
-
A novel Br?nsted and Lewis acid ionic liquid (IL) chlorinated butyrolactam chlorozincinate (CPCl-ZnCl2) was synthesized by a hydrothermal process and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The Fe-SBA-15 mesoporous materials with different Si/Fe mole ratios were prepared by direct synthesis method. The supported ionic liquid (IL/Fe-SBA-15) with various IL contents were prepared by a wet impregnation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and N2 physical adsorption. The acidity was measured by FT-IR spectroscopy using pyridine as probes. The catalytic property was tested in acetalization of cyclohexanone with ethylene glycol. The results demonstrated that the IL/Fe-SBA-15 catalysts were of higher catalytic activity compared to Fe-SBA-15. Under optimal conditions, the acetalization could reach to 92.6% cyclohexanone conversion with 99.3% acetal selectivity. After 5 cycles, the cyclohexanone conversion decreased slightly. Also, the catalyst showed good catalytic property in the other acetalization of cyclohexanone and benzyl alcohol.

- NMR Quantification of Hydrogen-Bond-Activating Effects for Organocatalysts including Boronic Acids
-
The hydrogen-bonding activation for 66 organocatalysts has been quantified using a 31P NMR binding experiment with triethylphosphine oxide (TEPO). Diverse structural classes, including phenols, diols, silanols, carboxylic acids, boronic acids, and phosphoric acids, were examined with a variety of steric and electronic modifications to understand how the structure and secondary effects contribute to hydrogen-bonding ability and catalysis. Hammett plots demonstrate high correlation for the Δδ 31P NMR shift to Hammett parameters, establishing the ability of TEPO binding to predict electronic trends. Upon correlation to catalytic activity in a Friedel-Crafts addition reaction, data demonstrate that 31P NMR shifts correlate to catalytic activity better than pKa values. Boronic acids were investigated, and 31P NMR binding experiments predicted strong hydrogen-bonding ability, for which catalytic activity was confirmed, resulting in the greatest rate enhancement observed in the Friedel-Crafts addition of all organocatalysts studied. A detailed investigation supports that boronic acid activation proceeds through hydrogen-bonding interactions and not coordination with the Lewis acidic boron center. Using 31P NMR spectroscopy offers a simple and rapid tool to quantify and predict hydrogen-bonding abilities for the design and applications of new organocatalysts and supramolecular synthons.

- 8-Hydroxy-2-methylquinoline-modified H4SiW12O40: A reusable heterogeneous catalyst for acetal/ketal formation
-
A heteropoly acid based organic hybrid heterogeneous catalyst, HMQ-STW, was prepared by combining 8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline (HMQ) with Keggin-structured H4SiW12O40 (STW). The catalyst was characterized via elemental analysis, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and potentiometric titration analysis. The catalytic performance of the catalyst was assessed in the ketalization of ketones with glycol or 1,2-propylene glycol. Various reaction parameters, such as the glycol to cyclohexanone molar ratio, catalyst dosage, reaction temperature and time, were systematically examined. HMQ-STW exhibited a relatively high yield of corresponding ketal, with 100% selectivity under the optimized reaction conditions. Moreover, catalytic recycling tests demonstrated that the heterogeneous catalyst exhibited high potential for reusability, and it was revealed that the organic modifier HMQ plays an important role in the formation of a heterogeneous system and the improvement of structural stability. These results indicated that the HMQ-STW catalyst is a promising new type of heterogeneous acid catalyst for the ketalization of ketones.

- A site isolation-enabled organocatalytic approach to enantiopure γ-amino alcohol drugs
-
Solid support-enabled site isolation has previously allowed to use paraldehyde as an acetaldehyde surrogate in aldol reactions. However, only electron-poor aldehydes were tolerated by the system. Herein, we show that the temporary conversion of benzaldehyde into η6-benzaldehyde Cr(CO)3 circumvents this limitation. Asymmetric synthesis of (R)-Phenoperidine, as well as formal syntheses of (R)-Fluoxetine and (R)-Atomoxetine, illustrate the benefits of this strategy.

- Synthesis of dioxolanes and oxazolidines by silica gel catalysis

Abstract: Ethylene glycol condensed with carbonyl compounds in the presence of silica gel or alumina, without solvent and under pressure, affords 1,3-dioxolanes. 2-Amino-2-methylpropanol also condensed with carbonyl compounds in the presence of silica gel or an acid-activated clay, without solvent and under pressure, produces oxazolidines. To explain these results, we propose that the glycol and the aminopropanol react with Br?nsted (H+) and Lewis acid sites (Si and Al) located on the surface of the catalysts, leading to the products via various ionic intermediates.

-
An organocatalytic oxidation platform that capitalizes on the capacity of hydrazines to undergo rapid autoxidation to diazenes is described. Commercially available benzo[c]cinnoline is shown to catalyze the oxidation of alkyl halides to aldehydes in a novel mechanistic paradigm involving nucleophilic attack, prototropic shift, and hydrolysis. The hydrolysis and reoxidation events occur readily with only adventitious oxygen and water. A survey of the scope of viable substrates is shown along with mechanistic and computational studies that give insight into this mode of catalysis.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such problems that the replacement of a nitro group with a hydrogen atom in production of an aromatic compound requires two-type reactions different from each other comprising reduction to an amino group and conversion of diazonium salt, and those procedures contain such problems that many processes are required and it takes time in production in view of convenience in aftertreatment of reaction and refining operation; and further, a careful handling is required regarding the diazonium salt because that salt is unstable depending on the type of compound and is an intermediate having sometimes the risk of explosion. SOLUTION: There is provided an aromatic compound production method characterized by including: reacting an aromatic nitro compound with a proton supply compound under the presence of a metal catalyst; and directly reducing the nitro group of the aromatic nitro compound to a hydrogen atom.

- Reductive Denitration of Nitroarenes
-
The Pd-catalyzed reductive denitration of nitroarenes has been achieved via a direct cleavage of the C-NO2 bonds. The catalytic conditions reported exhibit a broad substrate scope and good functional-group compatibility. Notably, the use of inexpensive propan-2-ol as a mild reductant suppresses the competitive formation of anilines, which are normally formed by other conventional reductions. Mechanistic studies have revealed that alcohols serve as efficient hydride donors in this reaction, possibly through β-hydride elimination from palladium alkoxides.

A novel solid acid catalyst (PANEAPF) is developed by immobilization of phosphoric acid on polyacrylonitrile fiber through covalent bonding. Various characterization techniques such as elemental analysis (EA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), etc. are utilized to confirm the successful grafting and the stability of the fiber catalysts during application. PANEAPF shows high catalytic activity in the acetalization of aldehydes owing to the high utilization efficiency of its functionalized acid sites. In addition, the strong polarity micro-environment in the surface layers of PANEAPF make it highly suitable for catalytic application in both water and alcohol. Furthermore, the fiber catalyst can be applied to the acetalization of aldehydes in a continuous-flow process at room temperature, and shows excellent reactivity and superior recyclability (over 20 times). The many advantages of PANEAPF such as simple preparation, convenient regulation of acid amount, high durability, and eco-friendly process make it very attractive for fixed-bed reactors in the chemical industry.

A bifunctional Zr-MOF catalyst containing palladium nanoclusters (NCs) has been developed. The formation of Pd NCs was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). Combining the oxidation activity of Pd NCs and the acetalization activity of the Lewis acid sites in UiO-66-NH2, this catalyst (Pd@UiO-66-NH2) exhibits excellent catalytic activity and selectivity in a one-pot tandem oxidation-acetalization reaction. This catalyst shows 99.9% selectivity to benzaldehyde ethylene acetal in the tandem reaction of benzyl alcohol and ethylene glycol at 99.9% conversion of benzyl alcohol. We also examined various substituted benzyl alcohols and found that alcohols with electron-donating groups showed better conversion and selectivity compared to those with electron-withdrawing groups. We further proved that there was no leaching of active catalytic species during the reaction and the catalyst can be recycled at least five times without significant deactivation.

- Driving an equilibrium acetalization to completion in the presence of water
-
Formation of an acetal from a carbonyl substrate by condensation with an alcohol is a classical reversible equilibrium reaction in which the water formed must be removed to drive the reaction to completion. A new method has been developed for acetalization of carbonyl substrates by diols in the presence of water. Complexation of poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) with poly(4-vinylpyridine) generates a catalytic membrane of polymeric acid at the interface between two parallel laminar flows in a microchannel of a microflow reactor. The catalytic membrane provides a permeable barrier between the organic layer and water-containing layer in the reaction, and permits discharge of water to the outlet of the microreactor to complete the acetalization. Condensation of a variety of carbonyl substrates with diols proceeded in the presence of water in the microflow device to give the corresponding acetals in yields of up to 97% for residence times of 19 to 38 s. the Partner Organisations 2014.

- Acetalization of aldehydes and ketones over H4[SiW 12O40] and H4[SiW12O 40]/SiO2
-
H4[SiW12O40] (H-SiW12) is demonstrated to be able to efficiently catalyze the acetalization of aldehydes and ketones with ethylene glycol and 1,3-propanediol. Nevertheless, the possible leaching and the recycling of H-SiW12 are two major disadvantages that largely restrict its further application in industry. Moreover, H 4[SiW12O40] tends to deactivate strong proton sites due to the small surface area of 10 m2 g-1. Due to interactions with surface silanol groups, the proton sites of polyoxometalates (POMs) on SiO2 are less susceptible to deactivation. As such, immobilization of H4[SiW12O40] onto SiO 2 leads to the heterogeneous catalyst H4[SiW 12O40]/SiO2 (H-SiW12/SiO 2), which can catalyze the acetalization of aldehydes and ketones with ethylene glycol and 1,3-propanediol selectively and efficiently without the need of a drying agent. The acetalization process can proceed smoothly at a relatively low temperature under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst of H 4[SiW12O40]/SiO2 can be recycled at least ten times without an obvious decrease in its catalytic activity. As far as we know, the TONs of the H-SiW12/SiO2-catalyzed acetalization of cyclohexanone with ethylene glycol, and benzaldehyde with 1,3-propanediol are the highest reported so far.

- New extraction procedure for protonated polyoxometalates prepared in aqueous-organic solution and characterisation of their catalytic ability
-
Although POMs prepared in aqueous-organic solutions have been reported to exhibit interesting chemical properties and may be efficient catalysts, they could not be isolated in their protonated form using the normal extraction method. In this study, a new procedure of isolating protonated POMs, [S 2VxM18-xO62](4+x)- and [AsVxM12-xO40](3+x)- (M = Mo, W; x = 0-2), which were prepared in an aqueous-organic mixed solution, was developed by modifying and optimising the extraction conditions. Isolated protonated POMs were characterised using IR and Raman spectroscopy, and their acidity was measured using a Hammett indicator. The acidity of H4S 2W18O62, H5S2VW 17O62, H4S2Mo18O 62, and H3As2W18O62 was stronger than that of H3PW12O40. Their catalytic ability was investigated in multiple types of organic reactions, including pinacol rearrangement, acetal formation with benzaldehyde and ethylene glycol, and the Friedel-Crafts acylation of anisole with ethyl pyruvate. They exhibited greater catalytic ability than commercially available POMs such as H3PM12O40 and H4SiM 12O40 (M = Mo, W).

- Rapid assessment of protecting-group stability by using a robustness screen
-
An experimentally simple method has been developed to rapidly establish the stability of widely utilized silyl, acetal, and carbamate protecting groups to a given set of reaction conditions. Assessment of up to twelve protecting groups in a single experiment has been demonstrated. Evaluation of this protocol in two unrelated synthetic transformations suggests that this method can be used to select appropriate protecting groups in the design of synthetic routes.

- Part I: The development of the catalytic wittig reaction
-
We have developed the first catalytic (in phosphane) Wittig reaction (CWR). The utilization of an organosilane was pivotal for success as it allowed for the chemoselective reduction of a phosphane oxide. Protocol optimization evaluated the phosphane oxide precatalyst structure, loading, organosilane, temperature, solvent, and base. These studies demonstrated that to maintain viable catalytic performance it was necessary to employ cyclic phosphane oxide precatalysts of type 1. Initial substrate studies utilized sodium carbonate as a base, and further experimentation identified N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) as a soluble alternative. The use of DIPEA improved the ease of use, broadened the substrate scope, and decreased the precatalyst loading. The optimized protocols were compatible with alkyl, aryl, and heterocyclic (furyl, indolyl, pyridyl, pyrrolyl, and thienyl) aldehydes to produce both di- and trisubstituted olefins in moderate-to-high yields (60-96 %) by using a precatalyst loading of 4-10 mol %. Kinetic E/Z selectivity was generally 66:34; complete E selectivity for disubstituted α,β-unsaturated products was achieved through a phosphane-mediated isomerization event. The CWR was applied to the synthesis of 54, a known precursor to the anti-Alzheimer drug donepezil hydrochloride, on a multigram scale (12.2 g, 74 % yield). In addition, to our knowledge, the described CWR is the only transition-/heavy-metal-free catalytic olefination process, excluding proton-catalyzed elimination reactions. A point of difference: By utilizing an organosilane to chemoselectively reduce a phosphane oxide precatalyst to a phosphane (see scheme), the first catalytic (in phosphane) Wittig reaction has been developed. The methodology has been applied to the synthesis of 22 disubstituted and 24 trisubstituted olefins, including a multigram synthesis of a precursor to the anti-Alzheimer drug donepezil hydrochloride.

- One-pot synthesis of ordered mesoporous zirconium oxophosphate with high thermostability and acidic properties
-
A series of mesoporous zirconium oxophosphate (M-ZrPO) with different P/Zr molar ratios (0-1.25) has been prepared via a facile one-pot evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) strategy. After removing the structure-directing agents, the M-ZrPO with large specific surface area (160 m2 g-1), big pore volume (0.26 cm3 g-1) and narrow pore size distribution (5.64 nm) has been obtained. Small-angle X-ray diffraction (SXRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed that these materials had ordered mesoporous structure. With the increase of P/Zr, the textural properties of M-ZrPO could be improved. Moreover, the ordered mesostructure could be maintained even when treated at 800°C, indicating the M-ZrPO had attractive thermal stability. NH3-TPD and pyridine-IR analyses showed the presence of abundant Broensted and Lewis acid sites in the material. The M-ZrPO has been used successfully as solid acid catalyst and showed excellent performance in the ketalization reaction.

- Facile aldolization catalyzed by ionic liquid [4-sulfbmpyrazine][BF 4]
-
The acidic functionalized ionic liquid 1-(4-sulfonic group)butyl-3- methylpyrazine tetrafluoroborate (abbreviated as [4-sulfbmpyrazine][BF 4]) was employed as the catalyst of the condensation of aromatic aldehyde and diols. The optimized condition was as follows: aromatic aldehyde (0.20 mol), diols (0.30 mol) and [4-sulfbmpyrazine][BF4] (0.60 g) were refluxed in cyclohexane (10.00 mL) for 1 h. A series of aromatic aldehydes were studied and afforded the corresponding acetals products with good yields which were from 70.3 to 96.9 %. The ionic liquid catalyst could be recycled for four times without significant loss of catalyst reactivity.

- Synthesis of a novel melamine-formaldehyde resin-supported ionic liquid with Bronsted acid sites and its catalytic activities
-
Bronsted acidic ionic liquid immobilized on a melamine-formaldehyde resin (AIL-MFR) was synthesized through the reaction of melamine-formaldehyde resin (MFR) with 1,4-butanesulfonate. Using PEG-2000 as the additive, the MFR can be prepared in regular microspheres with an average diameter of 3.97 μm and surface area of 9.09 m2 g-1. The AIL-MFR had high acidity of 2.93 mmol g-1, mainly from the sulfonic groups. The catalysis results showed that the AIL-MFR had high activity and stability for acetalization with excellent conversions and yields for most substrates. Furthermore, immobilization of the acidic ionic liquid on the MFR made the recycling of the catalyst convenient.

Acyclic acetals and ketals undergo transacetalisation in the presence of catalytic quantities of indium(III) triflate (In(OTf)3) and diols or triols under solvent-free conditions to generate the corresponding cyclic acetals and ketals in excellent yield. The methodology has been further developed to encompass a tandem acetalisation-acetal exchange protocol, which provides a facile and high yielding route to cyclic ketals from unreactive ketones under very mild reaction conditions.

- Polyacrylonitrile fiber mat supported solid acid catalyst for acetalization
-
A novel polyacrylonitrile hybrid fiber mat supported solid acid catalyst was prepared by electrospin-ning, and its catalytic activities were carefully investigated through acetalization reactions. The results showed that this hybrid fiber mat exhibits high activity for the reactions, with average yields over 95%. Besides having catalytic activities similar to the solid acid, the heterogeneous solid acid/polyacrylonitrile mat can be reused in six runs without significant loss of catalytic activities. The large size of the hybrid fiber mat greatly facilitates recovery of the catalyst from the reaction mixture. The high and stable catalytic activities of the hybrid fiber mat hold great potential for green chemical processes and preparation of membrane reactors in the future.

- Sulfonic groups functionalized preoxidated polyacrylonitrile nanofibers and its catalytic applications
-
A SO3H-bearing nanofiber mat was synthesized and investigated as a novel heterogeneous acid catalyst. Preoxidated polyacrylonitrile nanofiber mat was prepared via electrospinning and heat treatment, and then reacted with chlorosulfuric acid to introduce the sulfonic groups. The nanofiber mat owned high acidity of 2.99 mmol/g. The preoxidation and sulfonation were examined by FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). The fiber morphologies were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The catalytic activities and reuse of the prepared nanofiber mat solid acid catalyst have been evaluated for the acetalization and esterification. The regular fiber mat structure could significantly facilitate the recovery and reuse of the catalyst. The excellent catalytic performance and easy recycling made the novel fiber mat solid acid hold great potential for the green chemical processes.
