Highly active hierarchical mordenite zeolite with micro/mesoporosity (TM-n) for selective synthesis of cyclic acetals via acetylation reaction is reported. The hierarchical zeolite is synthesized using soft-templating approach with variations in octadecyltrimethoxysilane (OTMS/Al2O3 ratio, n = 0.2,...
