Acylation of oleic acid with ethanolamine was carried out using large mesoporous materials of UL-MFI-type. Mesostructured precursors having Si/Al ratios from 100 to 20, designated as Al-Meso-x were synthesized using SiCl 4 and AlCl 3 as silicon and aluminum sources, and Pluronic P123 in ethanol as surfactant. UL-ZSM-5 materials were obtained from surfactant containing the above precursors which were impregnated with an aqueous solution of tetrapropylammonium hydroxide followed by drying for several days. Chemo-and regioselectivity was controlled via a strong correlation of temperature and solvent effects.
