Abstract:
In this work, we have reported the synthesis of a series of heterogeneous catalysts, viz., [HMIm]3[PW12O40]@-MOF-Fe, [HMIm]3[PMo12O40]@-MOF-Fe, and [HMIm]4[SiW12O40]@-MOF-Fe, by a simple impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by several techniques, such as FTIR, EDX, XRD, SEM, elemental mapping, and TGA. Among these materials, [HMIm]3[PW12O40]@-MOF-Fe had more acidic sites (confirmed by potentiometric titration) and high stability around 598 °C (confirmed by TGA). The catalytic prospect of the materials was examined through selective acetalization of glycerol to solketal as a fuel additive under solvent-free and room-temperature conditions. [HMIm]3[PW12O40]@-MOF-Fe exhibited the highest catalytic activity among the three catalysts in terms of glycerol conversion (100%), solketal selectivity (100%), and solketal yield (100%). A recyclability study of [HMIm]3[PW12O40]@-MOF-Fe showed that the material could be reused for up to 7 cycles with insignificant loss in its catalytic performance.

Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
