Diester 2 was selectively hydrolyzed to monoacid 6 followed by converting to its acid chloride 7. Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions of 7 with aromatic compounds afforded keto esters 8. The geometric structures of 8 and its precursors were elucidated and verified by NMR spectra.展开更多

It revealed that the reaction of anisole smoothly occurred quantitatively for 3 h using mordenite zeolite with SiO2/Al2O3 = 200, and with SiO2/Al2O3 = 110, the increasing of Br?nsted acidity allowed to completely react within 2 h. Furthermore the selectivity of 4-methoxyacetophenone (4-MA) among the isomers was found to be quantitative, no by-products and/or isomers were not detectable. With the excellent recyclability and reusability, the mordenite zeolite exhibited at least 30 times quantitatively both conversion of anisole and selectivity of 4-MA. The mordenite catalysts of fresh and the used after 30 times were characterized. This opportunity obviously indicates the sufficient shape selective catalyst of mordenite zeolite and gives a green synthetic tool for heterogeneous acylation reaction.展开更多

Microwave irradiation had no effect on the intermolecular reaction but had an accelerating effect on the intramolecular reaction. This enhanced intramolecular reactivity that was attributed to the high probability of close proximity between the reaction sites.展开更多
