Hydration of cyclohexene by alkyl-immobilized H-ZSM-5 catalyst in decalin-water system
In the hydration of cyclohexene, alkylchlorosilane-treated ZSM-5s, which floated at the interface of the two liquids, were observed to be solid interface catalysts in a decalin-water system. The catalysts, especially cyclohexyl-immobilized H-ZSM-5, show their capacity of accelerating the hydration with suppression of the formation of by-products such as dicyclohexyl ether.
