The hydroxyapatite(HAP) supported zinc chloride catalyst(ZnCl2/HAP) for Friedel-Crafts acylation of anisole with acyl chloride was prepared by the hydrothermal method. HAP and ZnCl2/HAP were characterized by means of FT-IR, XRD and BET. The effects of reaction conditions and stability of ZnCl2/HAP for the acylation reaction were studied. The results showed that the suitable calcination temperature of catalyst, ZnCl2 loading, reaction time and the molar ratio of catalyst to acyl chloride were 150°C, 1 mmol/g, 5 h, 1:25, respectively. Under the ...
