摘要
The addition of methanol to allyl alcohol was investigated with metal oxides and zeolites catalysts in the liquid phase. 3-Methoxy-1-propanol was selectively formed with MgO, ZrO2 and Al2O3, while zeolites gave 2-methoxy-1-propanol. This feature suggests that the generation of a methoxide ion on basic sites is an important step. The highest yield, 23.6%, was obtained with MgO treated in a hydrogen flow.
