Abstract
The catalytic performance of an amorphous mesoporous aluminophosphate (AlPO) was investigated for the transesterification of diethyl carbonate (DEC) with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) to synthesize ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC). Compared with other solid acid and/or base catalysts, the mesoporous AlPO showed remarkably high activity, stability and recoverability for the reaction. We proposed that the presence of suitable weak acid–base pairs on the surface of the mesoporous AlPO material should play a critical role in the activation of reactants to produce EMC.
