Resumen
The gas-phase alkylation of m-cresol with methanol was studied at 523 K on Al-MCM-41 and zeolites ZnY, HBEA, HZSM5 and HMCM22. The acidity was determined by ammonia TPD and FTIR of adsorbed pyridine.On acid sites of moderate strength (Al-MCM-41), initially the O-alkylation rate was higher than the C-alkylation rate. In contrast, formation of dimethylphenols by C-alkylation was highly favored on ZnY and HMCM22 which have both strong acidity although different nature; Lewis (ZnY) and Brønsted and Lewis (HMCM22). High selectivity of 2,5-DMP was observed on HZSM5, probably due to diffusional constraint. All catalysts, except Al-MCM-41, showed deactivation by coke formation.
