We report an efficient one-pot conversion of glycerol (GLY) to methyl lactate (MLACT) in methanol in good yields (73 % at 95 % GLY conversion) by using Au nanoparticles on commercially available ultra-stable zeolite-Y (USY) as the catalyst (160 °C, air, 47 bar pressure, 0.25 M GLY, GLY-to-Au mol ratio of 1407, 10 h). The best results were obtained with zeolite USY-600, a catalyst that has both Lewis and Brønsted sites. This methodology provides a direct chemo-catalytic route for the synthesis of MLACT from GLY. MLACT is stable under the reaction conditions, and the Au/USY catalyst was recycled without a decrease in the activity and selectivity.
我们报道了一种高效的一锅法工艺,以市售超稳Y型沸石(USY)负载的金纳米颗粒为催化剂(160℃,空气,47巴压力,0.25M甘油,甘油与金的摩尔比为1407,10小时),在甲醇中将甘油(GLY)高效转化为乳酸甲酯(MLACT),产率良好(甘油转化率为95%时产率为73%)。使用同时具有路易斯酸和布朗斯特酸位点的USY-600沸石催化剂可获得最佳结果。该方法为从甘油合成乳酸甲酯提供了一条直接的化学催化途径。乳酸甲酯在反应条件下稳定,且金/USY催化剂可循环使用,活性和选择性均无下降。
