Abstract
Sulfonic acid-functionalized SBA-15 materials (SA-SBA-15) with ordered channeling pores were synthesized by one-pot co-condensation and used to catalyze the hydration of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD). The target product, cydecanol (DCPD-OH) has been used as a modifier for polyester or alkyd resin. Propylsulfonic acid functionalized SBA-15 was found to be more efficient than the silica gel counterpart or arylsulfonic acid functionalized material in catalyzing DCPD hydration to yield DCPD-OH. The DCPD conversion and DCPD-OH yield increased with the decrease in H2O/DCPD ratio. Optimal DCPD conversion and DCPD-OH selectivity were obtained with the molar composition of DCPD:H2O:H+-catalyst = 1:30:0.1.
