Abstract

Strong Lewis acid SnTf-MCM-41 and SnTf-UVM-7 catalysts with unimodal and bimodal pore systems were prepared in a two-step synthesis in which the triflic acid (Tf) was incorporated into previously synthesized mesoporous tin-containing silicas. The Sn incorporation inside the pore walls was carried out through the Atrane method. The SnTf-UVM-7 catalysts were prepared by aggregating nanometric mesoporous particles defining a hierarchic textural-type additional pore system. Catalysts with different Si/Sn ratios in the range 21.8–50.8 for SnTf-MCM-41 and 18.4 for SnTf-UVM-7 were found to be efficient catalysts for the acylation of aromatics and heteroaromatics. Under microwave irradiation the reaction was possible even with acetic acid. The selectivity to the desired product (o-hydroxyacetophenone for phenol) or the unfavored three-substituted five ring heterocycles was dramatically increased under these conditions. The process is green, environmentally safe, and heterogeneous.
