Abstract
Y, US-Y and ZSM-5 zeolites were used as suitable catalysts for the synthesis of 4-phenyl-1-1,3-dioxolanes from styrene oxide and aliphatic ketones. The results suggest that the diffusion factor as well as acidity influence the 1,3-dioxolane yield. The probable mechanism of the reaction is discussed.
