The cluster catalyzed hydration of 1-hexyne to yield 2-hexanone. The catalytic activity increased with increasing temperature, the selectivity for 2-hexanone being 70% in the temperature range 250-400 degrees C. 1-Heptyne, 1-octyne, 1-nonyne, and phenylacetylene were also preferentially hydrated to produce the corresponding ketones. 2-Hexyne provided 2- and 3-hexanones in equal amounts, as happens with Bronsted acid catalysts. Halide clusters of niobium, molybdenum, and tantalum having the same octahedral metal framework were also active catalysts for the reaction., The original publication is available at http://www.springerlink.com/content/l3754l4qj43w6hv5/, text, application/pdf}, pages = {845--853}, title = {Catalytic hydration of alkynes over bronsted acid sites developed on halide clusters}, volume = {18}, year = {2007}, yomi = {チハラ, テイジ} }
