Abstract
A simple,
economical, and recyclable catalytic route is developed
for the synthesis of alkyl phenyl ethers by the liquid phase reaction
of phenol derivatives with alkyl esters using conventional and nanocrystalline
zeolite Beta. A wide range of alkyl phenyl ethers can be prepared
using this catalytic protocol. Nanocrystalline zeolite Beta exhibited
higher activity than conventional zeolite Beta
