Brønsted acid (HClO4, H2SO4) catalyzed Mn(VII) oxidation of purine alkaloids such as caffeine, theophylline and theobromine in aqueous acetonitrile and sodium fluoride medium revealed first order kinetics in both [(Mn(VII)] and [Alkaloid] at constant acidity and temperature. Sodium fluoride was added to the reaction mixture in order to avoid/suppress auto catalytic reaction due to the generation of Mn(III) and Mn(IV) species during the course of Mn(VII) oxidations in acidic solutions. An increase in the Brønsted acids (HClO4, H2SO4) concentration accelerated the rate of oxidation. Rate enhancements observed here in are analyzed by Zucker-Hammett, Bunnett and Bunnett-Olsen criteria of acidity functions. On the basis of observed Bunnett-Olsen criteria of acidity functions, the most plausible mechanism has been proposed with the involvement of water molecule in the slow step (as proton transferring agent).

The Brønsted/Lewis acid properties of Hf-MOF-808 can be tuned by simply controlling the solvent employed in its synthesis, with direct catalytic implications on the activity and selectivity of organic reactions sensitive to the active site nature.

The aim of the present paper is to study the speciation and the role of different active site types (copper species and Brønsted acid sites) in the direct synthesis of furan from furfural catalyzed by copper-exchanged FAU31 zeolite. Four series of samples were prepared by using different conditions of post-synthesis treatment, which exhibit none, one or two types of active sites. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, low-temperature sorption of nitrogen, SEM, H2-TPR, NMR and by means of IR spectroscopy with ammonia and CO sorption as probe molecules to assess the types of active sites. All catalyst underwent catalytic tests. The performed experiments allowed to propose the relation between the kind of active centers (Cu or Brønsted acid sites) and the type of detected products (2-metylfuran and furan) obtained in the studied reaction. It was found that the production of 2-methylfuran (in trace amounts) is determined by the presence of the redox-type centers, while the protonic acid sites are mainly responsible for the furan production and catalytic activity in the whole temperature range. All studied catalysts revealed very high susceptibility to coking due to polymerization of furfural.
