ZEOLITE BASED CATALYTIC PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF ACYLATED AROMATIC ETHERS

摘要

The present invention relates to an improved zeolite based catalytic process for the preparation of acylated aromatic ethers and more particularly, the invention relates to catalysed acylation of anisole (methoxybenzene) and veratrole (1,2- dimethoxybenzene) for the preparation of acylated aromatic ether, namely, p-methoxyacetophenone and 3,4-dimethoxyacetophenone respectively using microporous alumino-silicates solids like zeolites.
