Abstract
Amorphous alumino phosphate (AP) and zirconium phosphate (ZP) materials possessing an ordered nanoporosity have been successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method using a P123 block co-polymer as the structure directing agent. The materials exhibited excellent catalytic activity towards selective alkylation of phenol with cyclohexanol, where AP showed as high as 100% selectivity to produce the industrially important O-alkylation product, while the corresponding ZP selectively produced a C-alkylation product (93% selectivity).
