The continuous synthesis of bis(indolyl)phenylmethane has been successfully accomplished for the first time by Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indole with benzaldehyde in a fixed-bed reactor over different zeolites. A citric acid modified H beta (CA-H beta) zeolite showed better catalytic performance than parent H beta zeolite due to its larger surface area and smaller amount of weak acid sites, confirmed by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer after adsorption of pyridine (Py-IR). Furthermore, it is proposed that citric acid treatment is appropriate for dealumination of H beta zeolite, which results in the CA-H beta zeolite having a larger number of active centers for the desired transformation. Significantly, CA-H beta has shown good stability during a 100 h test. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
