Abstract:
A supported catalyst and a process for the preparation of the catalyst, the catalyst containing mixed metal oxides or halides deposited on porous catalyst carriers or supports, useful for heterogeneously or solid catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reactions such as alkylation, aralkylation, acylation, or aroylation of aromatic compounds in the preparation of fine chemicals. The supported catalyst has high activity for the Friedel-Crafts reactions when the aromatic ring activating groups are present in the aromatic ring to be aralkylated, acylated or aroylated, and also when the ring activating group is absent or when aromatic ring deactivating groups are present in the aromatic ring to aralkylated, acylated or aroylated, so that the reaction temperature is low and/or the time for completing the reaction is short. The catalyst can be separated and used repeatedly for catalytic reactions.
Abstract:
A supported catalyst is prepared by depositing oxides of nickel and cobalt, with or without noble metals, on a sintered low surface area porous inert support, surface of which is precoated with an oxide of Be, Mg, Ca or a mixture thereof so that a protective layer of the alkaline earth oxide is formed between the oxides of nickel and cobalt, with or without noble metal, and the support and hence direct chemical interactions between the oxides of the group VIII transition metals and the reactive components of support, which leads to the formation of catalytically inactive binary oxide phases are avoided.
