Mechanistic studies play a key role of understanding how specified reaction conditions and/or properties of the catalyst itself can be tuned to optimize catalyst activity and selectivity towards desired product of particular reaction. The presentation will focus on FT-IR qualitative analysis of H-bonded methanol/cyclopentanol adducts formed by interaction with acid sites (more/less accessible for the substrate) located in MFI zeolites and their role in the mechanism of cyclopentanol etherification.
