Abstract

The acetal formation reaction, which involves the condensation of an aldehyde with an alcohol, is a model acid-catalyzed reaction widely used in organic synthesis and fine chemistry. The efficiency of catalysts in this reaction depends on the surface acidity, accessibility of active sites, and resistance to deactivation. In this study, natural perlite and mordenite are investigated as promising, inexpensive, solid acidic catalysts for this reaction. One of the model reactions used to evaluate acid catalytic activity is the formation of cyclic acetals. In the reaction of benzaldehyde with glycerol in the presence of acid catalysts, 4-hydroxymethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane, a cyclic acetal, is formed. The reaction is catalyzed by Lewis or Bronsted acids and is sensitive to the structure and accessibility of the catalyst surface active sites.
