Yang, Liu published the artcileSynthesis of cyclohexanone ethylene ketal catalyzed by Keggin type biimidazole tungstogermanate, Formula: C8H14O2, the publication is Yingyong Huaxue (2014), 31(11), 1310-1316, database is CAplus.
A Keggin-type biimidazole tungstogermanate (H4biim) [H2GeW12O40]·18H2O (1b, H2biim = 2,2′-biimidazole), as a catalyst for the synthesis of cyclohexanone ethylene ketal, was designed and synthesized. It was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction anal., IR spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV spectroscopy (UV), thermogravimetry-DTA (TG-DTA) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Factors, such as the molar ratio of cyclohexanone to ethylene glycol, catalyst loading and reaction time, on the yield were investigated. The exptl. results show that the product yield reaches 90% under the optimal conditions: n(cyclohexanone):n(1,2-ethanediol) = 1:1.4, n(1b, based on W): n(cyclohexanone) = 1:260, and reaction time 2 h. The catalyst can be reused and has good stability in the catalytic reaction.
