Abstract:
The conversion of terpinolene epoxide to terpinen-4-ol is a desirable chemical transformation for the pro-duction of a valuable intermediate. This paper describes a one-pot, two-step system for the reaction that uses a bifunctional Ni/TiO2-SiO2 catalyst with isomerization and hydrogenation capabilities. The TiO2- SiO2 serves to isomerize the starting epoxide. The Ni component works to hydrogenate the allylic double bond. The tandem system achieves a high 64% yield of terpinen-4-ol. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that TiO2-SiO(2 )was a mixed binary oxide, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed pyr-idine suggested that acid sites were mainly Lewis acid sites. Electron microscopy showed that the Ni/TiO2-SiO2 catalyst consisted of spherical particles comprising a titanosilicate phase with highly dispersed zero-valent Ni or anatase on the surface. Additionally, there was strong interaction between Ni and the TiO2-SiO2 mixed oxides. Control kinetic experiments demonstrated that the tandem use of the catalysts was more effective than simultaneous operation. (C) 2022 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
