Abstract

Abstract : EU-12 zeolite was discovered to posses unreported catalytic performance for carbonylation reaction converting dimethyl ether to methyl acetate. Abstract : Carbonylation is an effective way to introduce carbonyl groups into organic chemicals. However, the known zeolite candidates for carbonylation are very few. Here, we discovered a new zeolite EU-12 that shows excellent catalytic performance for carbonylation reactions, inserting carbonyl groups into dimethyl ether (DME) to produce methyl acetate (MA). This finding adds a brand new zeolite to the solid catalyst family for carbonylation reaction.
