Mesoporous silica materials, SBA-15, functionalized with strong (-SO3H), moderate (-PO3H2) and weak (-COOH) acid groups have been successfully prepared by the co-condensation or post-grafting methods. Transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction indicate that all of the acid-functionalized SBA-15 materials possess highly ordered mesostructures. These mesoporous acid catalysts have been applied to the alkylation of phenol with tert-butanol. The acid strength as well as the reaction parameters, such as the temperature, space velocity, and molar ratio between the reactants, were found to be the main factors controlling the reactivity and selectivity of the alkylation reaction. SBA-15-SO3H and SBA-15-PO3H2 exhibited much higher catalytic activities than SBA-15-COOH. The product selectivity of alkylation reaction strongly depends on the acid strength as well as the reaction temperature. The SBA-15-SO3H revealed high selectivity for 4-tert-butyl phenol and 2,4-di-tert-butyl phenol at high temperature, whereas the SBA-15-PO3H2 did so for 2-tert-butyl phenol at moderate temperature. Ether was observed at a relatively low reaction temperature over the SBA-15-COOH catalyst.
