Abstract
Abstract The first catalytic applications of sulfonic acid-functionalized hydrophobic mesoporous benzene–silica with lamellar pore wall structure are reported. The mesoporous benzene–silica attached with propylsulfonic groups to the crystal-like periodic pore walls exhibited the catalytic activity in the esterification of acetic acid with ethanol. The catalytic results show the higher conversion compared to the commercial Nafion-H.
