Abstract

Zeolite KY is effective as a promoter in the N-alkylation of aniline derivatives in comparison with y-alumina. ... Various types of organic reactions have been promoted on y-alumina under very mild conditions.1 Both acidic and basic sites on the surface of the alumina are considered to work synergistically on substrates to promote the reactions. In contrast to alumina, the acid and base properties of zeolite can be easily modified by exchanging the cations involved in ...
