| Abstract | The solventless and heterogeneously catalysed synthesis of 2-phenoxyethanol (ethylene glycol monophenyl ether) via the reaction between phenol and ethylene carbonate was investigated using Na-mordenite catalysts as an alternative to the industrial process using ethylene oxide and homogeneous basic conditions. Under specific reaction conditions, it was possible to obtain total selectivity to phenoxyethanol at up to 75% phenol conversion and 82% selectivity at total phenol conversion in 5–7 hours of reaction time and using a moderate excess of ethylene carbonate. The main by-product was the linear carbonate of phenoxyethanol, bis(2-phenoxyethyl)carbonate (selectivity 15%), which could then be converted to phenoxyethanol by reacting with phenol in basic medium with 100% yield; so overall, the phenoxyethanol yield was as high as 97%. With a stoichiometric feed of phenol and ethylene carbonate, the maximum conversion of phenol was just 60%, still with 100% selectivity to phenoxyethanol. An autocatalytic phenomenon was also observed due to the higher basicity of 2-phenoxyethanol compared to phenol, which overlapped the Na-catalyzed activation of phenol. Starting from a commercial Na-mordenite, which showed significant deactivation, and by applying a post-treatment aimed at the reduction of microporosity, it was possible to minimize both the deactivation and Na leaching while keeping the selectivity enhancement effect shown by the mordenite structure. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
