Abstract
Mesoporous carbon incorporated with different alumina contents has been prepared by chelate-assisted co-assembly method. These composites were used as supports for Pt particles, and the as-prepared catalysts were reduced at 873K in hydrogen atmosphere. Our current study by using N2 sorption, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy revealed that carbon incorporated with 10–15wt% alumina was favorable for the high Pt dispersion and retained the mesostructure of carbon. Moreover, 15wt% alumina-carbon composite supported Pt particles modified by cinchonidine afforded the highest (84.8%) enantiomeric excess and could be reused at least five times for the asymmetric hydrogenation of ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate in acetic acid.
