It was found that base sites were harmful for aldol condensation due to their failure in catalyzing the decomposition of dimethoxymethane precursor into formaldehyde, whereas the acid site was indispensable for the reaction to proceed. This reaction cannot take place without an acid site. Although acid sites in H‐form of the zeolite（HZSM‐35） are indispensable for the aldol condensation reaction, not all of them tend to favor this reaction. A strong acid catalyzes methanol‐to‐olefin‐like reactions resulting in hydrocarbon byproducts, which are finally transferred to hard coke. Medium strong acids and weak acids are great candidates for the target aldol condensation reaction with high activity and selectivity. A γ‐Al2O3 sample with abundant weak‐strength Lewis acid sites, together with a few medium‐strong‐strength acid sites, performs well with a high activity and considerable stability during the synthesis of methyl acrylate and acrylic acid.展开更多
