Approaching enzymatic catalysis with zeolites or how to select one reaction mechanism competing with others

Abstract Approaching the level of molecular recognition of enzymes with solid catalysts is a challenging goal, achieved in this work for the competing transalkylation and disproportionation of diethylbenzene catalyzed by acid zeolites. The key diaryl intermediates for the two competing reactions onl...
