In an article, author is Huang, Qintong, once mentioned the application of 87-91-2, Name is (2R,3R)-Diethyl 2,3-dihydroxysuccinate, molecular formula is C8H14O6, molecular weight is 206.19, MDL number is MFCD00009143, category is chiral-catalyst. Now introduce a scientific discovery about this category, Safety of (2R,3R)-Diethyl 2,3-dihydroxysuccinate.
ZSM-5 zeolites are commonly used as a heterogeneous catalyst for reactions. Four ZSM-5 catalysts (with various crystallite sizes and a similar ratio of Si/Al) and their ball-milling/surface-poisoning derivates were used to convert L-lactic acid to L, L-lactide. The reaction products were analyzed by three independent analytical methods (i.e., Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1 NMR), high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), and chiral gas chromatography (GC)) for determining the L, L-lactide yield and L-lactic acid conversion. A clear size effect, i.e., smaller catalysts providing better performance, was observed. Further ball-milling/surface-poisoning experiments suggested that the size effect of the ZSM-5 catalysts originated from the diffusion-controlled nature of the reaction under the investigated conditions.
