Ti-MCM-41 materials synthesised at room temperature as catalysts for cyclisation of (±)-citronellal”

In the present work we extend the applicability of those Ti-MCM-41 materials, as heterogeneous catalysts, to produce an important intermediate, isopulegol, from the cyclisation of citronellal. The use of this kind of materials appears to be a good option over homogeneous catalysts, because they offe...

Description
Summary:In the present work we extend the applicability of those Ti-MCM-41 materials, as heterogeneous catalysts, to produce an important intermediate, isopulegol, from the cyclisation of citronellal. The use of this kind of materials appears to be a good option over homogeneous catalysts, because they offer the advantage of recovery and, consequently, contribute to environmentally friendly processes.
