Unique Lewis and Bronsted acidic sites texture in the selective production of tetrahydropyran and oxepanefrom1,5-pentanediol and 1,6-hexanediol over sustainable red brick clay catalyst
Activated red brick (ARB) clay material proved superb catalyst for selective conversion of 1,5-pentanediol (1,5-PDO) to tetrahydropyran (THP) and 1,6-hexanediol (1,6-HDO) to oxepane (OP) via dehydration under vapor phase conditions in a continuous flow reactor. As per scanning electron microscopy (S...
