【 摘 要 】

An efficient green catalyst comprising 12-tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) and MCM-41 was synthesized. The catalytic activity was evaluated for liquid phase solvent free diesterification of succinic acid. The support and the synthesized catalyst were characterized by various physico-chemical techniques. Fourier transform infrared, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and 31P NMR spectra indicate that the Keggin structure of TPA was not destroyed after anchoring to MCM-41. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy show that TPA is uniformly dispersed inside the channels without disturbing the hexagonal array of MCM-41. The present contribution reports solvent free diesterification of succinic acid with alcohols under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst shows higher activity toward diester, especially for dioctyl succinate 99% yield was obtained with very high turnover number, 12.43×104. Also the catalyst shows potential of being used as recyclable catalytic material ...
