A DFT Study for Catalytic Deoxygenation of Methyl Butyrate on a Lewis Acid Site of ZSM-5 Zeolite

The catalytic deoxygenation mechanism of fatty acid esters on a Lewis acid site of ZSM-5 zeolite was elucidated via density functional theory (DFT) by using a methyl butyrate (MB) as the model compound for fatty acid esters. The configurations of the initial reactant, transition states, and products...
