Abstract

Verataldehyde has been used as a precursor for different kinds of industry-related products, including odorants, flavourings, and medicines. The foremost objective of this endeavour is to oxidize veratryl alcohol (VA) into veratraldehyde (VAld). All the reactions were carried out in a continuous-process reactor. A metallic catalyst with the Ni/SO₄/ZrO₂ ratios were formed using the wet impregnation technique. These metals were added to the synthesized zirconium oxychloride, or ZrO₂, which has a high mesoporous character. Characterization of the catalysts was done with HR-TEM, BET, FT-IR, TGA, and XRD. Through catalyst optimization, the continuous flow reactor parameters (pressure, temperature, reaction time, and WHSV⁻¹) have been adjusted to maximize VA conversion and selectivity. The following were the ideal conditions for the catalytic reaction of Ni/SO₄/ZrO₂: 90 °C, 10 bar of pressure, 3.2 g of catalyst, and 4 mL tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) solvent. As a result, the reaction exhibited 100 % selectivity and a higher conversion rate. Even after five reaction runs, the catalyst maintained a 99 % yield, demonstrating both its stability and reusability. The conversion of VA to VAld can be commercially exploited through continuous reaction studies. Additionally, waste products were used to synthesise catalytic support, and the metal components are considerably cheaper than noble metals.

期刊介绍： Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry. Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
