Research Abstract |
We have carried out the catalytic use of metal cation-exchanged montmorillonite (M^<n+>mont), a modified natural clay with a layr structure, and metal cationexchanged fluorotetrasilicic mica (M^<n+>-TSM), a synthetic clay with a layr structure, for the following organic unit reactions : (1) Friedel-Crafts alkylation of phenol with 4-hydroxybutan-2-one to produce 4- (4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one (raspbery ketone), (2) rearrangement of alkyl phenyl ethers to the corresponding alkylphenols, (3) aromatic alkylation of phenol with aldehydes and ketones to produce the corresponding gem-bis (hydroxyphenyl) alkanes (bisphenols) and alkylphenols, respectively, (4) a facile and an almost quantitative substrateselective acetalization, (5) alkane oxidation with aqueous tert-butyl hydroperoxide, (6) Prins reaction of stirenes with aldehydes using a clay as a Bronsted acid, and (7) inter-and intramolecular carbonyl-ene reaction using a clay as a Lewis acidunder similar condition to that of Prins reaction. In almost all cases, the clay catalyst can be regenerated and reused for several times after filtration, washing, and drying.
