We can provide end-to-end synthesis services or provide you with high-quality resin catalysts.

Introduction

Alkylation and acylation reactions are one of the most important catalytic processes in the chemical industry. Alkylation refers to the transfer of alkyl groups from one molecule to another, while acylation refers to the substitution of hydrogen or other groups by acyl groups. Alkylation and acylation reactions are synthesis methods of chemical products such as fuels, fragrances, medicines, cleaning products, or their intermediate products. As the important type of organic synthesis reaction, the traditional catalysts for alkylation and acylation reactions are homogeneous catalysts such as AlCl₃ and H₂SO₄. These homogeneous catalysts have many disadvantages, such as being highly corrosive to equipment, requiring neutralization and separation, and environmental pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of acid catalyst. Ion exchange resin is a heterogeneous solid acid catalyst, which is not only easy to separate but also recyclable, and can replace traditional catalysts in alkylation and acylation reactions.
