A comparative study of an MCM-41 anchored quaternary ammonium chloride/SnCl4 catalyst and its silica gel analogue
Abstract
A novel reusable Lewis acid catalyst has been prepared by the heterogenization of a Lewis acid/tetrapropylammonium adduct; anchoring of tin chloride on quaternary ammonium chloride functionalized MCM-41 yielded a catalyst with higher activity compared to the corresponding silica analogue in terms of turnover rates and product yield in the Prins condensation of isobutene and formaldehyde to isoprenol.
