Abstract
The present application is directed to a supported rare earth-catalyst. This catalyst comprises a metal oxide support having Brønsted acid sites and a rare earth element-catalyst. The rare earth element-catalyst is bound to the Brønsted acid sites on the metal oxide support. The present application is also directed to methods of making supported rare earth-catalyst and methods for borylation of hydrocarbons using the supported rare earth-catalyst.

A supported rare earth-catalyst comprising:
- a metal oxide support having Brønsted acid sites;
- and
- a rare earth element-catalyst, wherein said rare earth element-catalyst is bound to the Brønsted acid sites on the metal oxide support.
A method of producing a supported rare earth-catalyst, said method comprising:
- providing a metal oxide support having Brønsted acid sites;
- providing a capping agent;
- reacting the metal oxide support with the capping agent under conditions effective to produce a metal oxide support containing capped functional groups;
- providing a rare earth element-catalyst;
- and
- depositing the rare earth element-catalyst on the metal oxide support containing capped functional groups to produce the supported rare earth-catalyst, wherein said rare earth element-catalyst is bound to the Brønsted acid sites on the metal oxide support.
A method for borylation of hydrocarbons comprising:
- providing a hydrocarbon;
- providing a supported rare earth-catalyst;
- providing a borylation reagent;
- and
- reacting the hydrocarbon with the borylation reagent in the presence of a supported rare earth-catalyst under conditions effective to borylate the hydrocarbon.
