Fig.9. Catalytic conversion of C3 sugars over ASAs. (a) Catalytic conversion of phenylglyoxal (―) and selectivity to alkyl mandelate (---) as a function of reaction time in MeOH (■), EtOH (●), i-PrOH (▼), n-PrOH (◆), n-BuOH (▲) over SA/70 and reaction in i-PrOH (★) over De-Al-HY[26]. (b) Catalytic glyceraldehyde conversion in ethanol over fresh De-Al-HY and SA/50 and after five recycle uses. Conditions: 1.25 mL of alcohol solution containing 0.4 mol/L phenylglyoxal or glyceraldehyde, 0.05 g catalyst, at 363 K for 6 h with stirring[8]
