Jasminaldehyde was prepared by condensation between benzaldehyde and heptanal. Large-pore acid zeolites (HY and Beta), mesoporous aluminosilicate (Al MCM-41), and amorphous aluminophospates (ALPO) were used as catalysts. The results indicated that zeolites showed lower activity and selectivity than...
