For the reactions, the influences of various reaction parameters such as different catalysts, reaction temperature, WHSV (weight hourly space velocity), reactant molar ratio are discussed. The selectivity of 4-t-butyleatechol in Zn-Al-MCM-41(75)-TIE is higher than that of other Zn-Al-MCM-41 (TIE) and Zn-Al-MCM-41 (HT) due to increasing the catalytic activity within pores on the silica surface by completely template ion-exchanging through metal-ions under TIE method. Thus a Zn-Al-MCM-41(75)-TIE catalyst is the superior catalyst for the synthesis of 4-t-butylcatechol.
