Abstract
The Baeyer-Villiger (BV) oxidation of cyclohexanone is explored using IWV-type aluminosilicates with different Al sites as heterogeneous catalysts. The IWV framework exhibits a two-dimensional 12-membered ring (MR) pore system intersected by 14-MR supercages, resembling typical beta zeolite. To address the constraints associated with hydrothermal synthesis, IWV aluminosilicates were synthesized via interzeolite transformation of various FAU-type zeolites. HF-assisted transformation of dealuminated FAU zeolite resulted in the formation of a high-silica IWV aluminosilicate (Si/Al = 54.6), whereas the incorporation of aluminum isopropoxide enables the tuning of Si/Al ratio down to 18.7. The alkaline conversion of protonated FAU zeolites, utilizing Na+ ions as mineralizing agents, produces high-Al content IWV derivatives in just four days. Catalytic evaluation demonstrates that the high-silica IWV catalyst exhibits a higher turnover number than the other IWV catalysts, along with enhanced ε-caprolactone (CL) selectivity relative to that of high-silica beta zeolite. Facile modifications are performed to adjust Al sites, as characterized by pyridine-adsorbed infrared spectroscopy. Experimental evidence confirms that Al Brønsted acid sites improves the selective oxidation of cyclohexanone, while concurrently enhancing CL hydrolysis.
