Synthesis of Methylal from Methanol and Trioxane over Acidic Resin

Abstract:

The synthesis of methylal from methanol and trioxane was investigated by using acidic resin as a catalyst, and a variety of solvents were also tested such as toluene, 1,4-dioxane, N,N-dimethylformamide. Comparatively, the organic solvent was suitable for obtaining the better catalytic performance. Among the acidic resin tested, Amberlyst15 showed the highest conversion. Moreover, the reaction conditions were optimized over the modified β zeolite. As a result, the proper reaction conditions are 1,4-dioxane as solvent, reaction temperature 70°C, n(methanol):n(trioxane) =2.2:1, with catalyst 5 wt% and reaction time 3 h. Under the above condition, the yield of methylal may reach about 62 % with Amberlyst 15.
