Application of beta zeolite in allylation reaction aiming formation of new C-C bonds

Aplicação de zeólita beta na catálise da reação de alilação visando formação de novas ligações C-C

Abstract

This study describes the formation of new C-C bonds through the allylation reaction of different aldehydes promoted by beta zeolite. This environmentally friendly method was characterized by its efficiency, versatility, and chemoselectivity in the formation of different homoallylic alcohols. Homoallylic alcohols were obtained in good yields (80% to 96%), short reaction times (30 to 75 min) at room temperature, and without the need for additional purifications. In addition, water was used as a co-solvent, ensuring the method a development in the field of green chemistry. Moreover, it was found that the zeolite beta can be reused for up to one reaction cycle without loss of its efficiency.
