Isomerization of α-Pinene Catalyzed by SnCl_4·5H_2O under Microwave Irradiation

Xian‐You Yuan

Abstract

Isomerization of α-pinene catalyzed by SnCl_4·5H_2O under microwave irradiation was studied.The influences of catalyst amount,solvents and power and time of microwave irradiation on conversion and selectivity of products were investigated.Under optimum reaction conditions (SnCl_4·5H_2O,0.7 g;α-pinene,10 mL;benzene,20 mL;microwave power,600 W;microwave irradiation time,6 min),the conversion of α-pinene was 86.8%.The results show that microwave irradiation accelerates the isomerization of α-pinene considerably in the presence of SnCl_4·5H_2O catalyst.
