Alkylation, i.e. isopropylation, s-butylation, and t-butylation, of biphenyl (BP) was examined over fourteen-membered ring (14-MR) zeolites, CIT-5, UTD-1, and SSZ-53, in order to elucidate the relationships between structure of zeolites and bulkiness of alkylating agents on the shape-selective catalysis. CIT-5 zeolite (CFI) yielded 4,4′-diisopropylbiphenyl (4,4′-DIPB) in the level of 50–60% in the isopropylation in the range of 150–300 °C. 2,2′-, 2,3′-, and 2,4′-DIPB (2,x′-DIPB) isomers were obtained as the predominant DIPB isomers at lower temperatures, and the formation of 3,4′- and 3,3′-DIPB isomers increased with an increase in the temperature. However, the selectivities were in the level of 10–15% for UTD-1 (DON) and SSZ-53 (SFH) zeolites in the range of 150–350 °C. The s-butylation with 1-butene gave results similar to the isopropylation, although the selectivities for 4,4′-di-s-butylbiphenyl (4,4′-DSBB) were higher than those for 4,4′-DIPB at 250 °C: 80–85% for CFI, 40–50% for DON, and 30–40% for SFH. High selectivity for 4,4′-di-t-butylbiphenyl (4,4′-DTBB) was observed in the t-butylation at 250 °C: 95% for CFI, 90% for DON, and 80% for SFH. These differences are due to the spatial difference in their channels, and also due to bulkiness of alkylating agents, propene, 1-butene, and 2-methylpropene. The selectivity for 4,4′-dialkylbiphenyl (4,4′-DABP) was governed by the exclusion of the bulky DABP isomers at the transition state by steric restriction in the zeolite channels.
研究了联苯(BP)在十四元环(14-MR)沸石(CIT-5、UTD-1 和 SSZ-53)上的烷基化反应,即异丙基化、正丁基化和叔丁基化,以阐明沸石结构和烷化剂体积对形状选择性催化的关系。CIT-5 沸石(CFI)在 150-300 ℃范围内进行异丙基化时,4,4′-二异丙基联苯(4,4′-DIPB)的产率为 50-60%。在较低温度下,2,2′-、2,3′- 和 2,4′-DIPB (2,x′-DIPB)异构体是主要的 DIPB 异构体,而随着温度的升高,3,4′- 和 3,3′-DIPB 异构体的生成量增加。不过,在 150-350 °C 的范围内,UTD-1(DON)和 SSZ-53(SFH)沸石的选择性在 10-15% 之间。用 1-丁烯进行 s-丁基化反应的结果与异丙基化反应相似,但在 250 ℃ 时,4,4′-二-s-丁基联苯(4,4′-DSBB)的选择性高于 4,4′-DIPB:CFI为80-85%,DON为40-50%,SFH为30-40%。在 250 ℃ 的 t 丁基化反应中,4,4′-二叔丁基联苯(4,4′-DTBB)具有较高的选择性:CFI为 95%,DON 为 90%,SFH 为 80%。这些差异是由于它们通道的空间差异以及烷基化剂丙烯、1-丁烯和 2-甲基丙烯的体积差异造成的。对 4,4′-二烷基联苯(4,4′-DABP)的选择性取决于沸石通道中的立体限制对过渡态笨重的 DABP 异构体的排斥。
