Abstract
Mesoporous molecular sieves Al-MCM-1 with n(SiO2)/n(Al2O3) ratios of 20:1, 50:1, and 100:1 were prepared. The as-synthesized Al-MCM-41 exhibited typical hexagonal structure, large surface areas, and narrow pore distribution. The performance of HAl-MCM-41 as catalyst for tert-butylation of p-cresol with MTBE was studied. The mesoporous HAl-MCM-41 molecular sieves (n(SiO2/n(Al2O3) = 20:1) was an efficient catalyst with high activity, selectivity, and stability for the synthesis of 2-tert-butyl-p-cresol from p-cresol and MTBE by tert-butylation.
