The double cyclodehydration of D‑sorbitol to isosorbide on Amberlyst 15 and KU‑2‑8 sulfonic acid resins at 120‑140 оC in the batch reactor under vacuum (150‑170 mbar) without solvent was studied. It was found that the studied catalysts provide 78‑88 % isosorbide yield with a complete conversion of sorbitol at 140 оC for 3 h. More stable Amberlyst 15 produces 10 g of isosorbide per 1 g of catalyst for 3 h at 130 оC. After 5 experiments for 3 h at 125 oC acid site concentration on Amberlyst 15 surface reduced by only 4 %, sorbitol conversion and yield of products remain almost unchanged. KU‑2‑8 shows high initial catalytic activity, but after only one run this resin loses 40 % of sulfonic groups.
