Abstract: Sulfated zirconia and SZ/MCM-41 were used as catalysts for the synthesis of β- aminoalcohols via epoxide aminolysis. Sulfated zirconia was prepared by sol-gel and SZ/MCM-41 was obtained by impregnation. Solid catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM- EDS, UV-Vis, FT-IR pyridine desorption and Nitrogen physisorption. Both acid materials were useful as catalysts, even when they were recycled several times. The β- ...
