Application
-
Organic Synthesis
Poly phosphoric acid is used in the synthesis of aromatic sulfones, N-substituted amides and 4-aminobenzophenones. It is also used in dehydration, Fischer-Indole Synthesis, Beckmann Rearrangement and Schmidt Rearrangement reactions.
-
Catalyst
It can be used as a catalyst in the synthesis of various aromatic ketones. PPA is used as a catalyst during the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from urea and methanol.
-
Other
It also acts as an absorbent for the ammonia generated in the process. PPA is used to prepare silica-supported poly phosphoric acid (PPA-SiO2), an easy to handle reusable heterogeneous catalyst.
