P. Moreau et al., LIQUID-PHASE ACETYLATION OF TETRALIN WITH ACETYL-CHLORIDE OVER ZEOLITES - INHIBITION OF THE REACTION BY THE PRODUCTS, Catalysis letters, 47(2), 1997, pp. 161-166
KY and H-beta zeolites are efficient catalysts in the acetylation reac
tion of tetralin with acetyl chloride. Their activity depends largely
on the experimental conditions and is restricted by the strong adsorpt
ion of organic species, either acetic acid or acetyltetralin formed in
the reaction.
