Reaction of ethyl diazoacetate with the zeolite catalyst H-ZSM-5: a model study of carbon–carbon bond formation
Abstract
Reaction of the substituted diazomethane with the acidic and conjugate base forms of the zeolite ZSM-5 is used to model carbon–carbon bond formation for methanol conversion into hydrocarbons, and the results re-inforce the involvement of a surface bonded C1 intermediate rather than a non-bonded trimethyloxonium ion ylide.
