CuCl has been successfully immobilized on a novel diamide modified SBA-15, and proven to be an efficient heterogenized catalyst for the oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethylcarbonate.

In this communication, we demonstrate our recent finding that iron-substituted SBA-15 (Fe-SBA-15) microparticles possess intrinsic peroxidase-like activity and can catalyze the oxidation of peroxidase substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H(2)O(2) to develop a blue color in aqueous solution, leading to a simple approach towards colorimetric detection of H(2)O(2) with a linear detect...

sulfonic acid functionalized sba-15 (sba-pr-so3h) as a new nanoporous acid catalyst was used in the one-pot synthesis of polyhydroquinolines derivatives via the hantzsch four component condensation reaction of aldehydes, b-ketoesters, dimedone and ammonium acetate under solvent free conditions with short reaction time in excellent yields. sba-pr-so3h was proved to be an efficient heterogeneous ...

Selective synthesis of carbamates from amines and dimethyl carbonate were studied in the presence of various ionic liquids as catalysts. The SO3H-functionalized ionic liquid was found to be the most active catalyst among the applied ionic liquids, and nearly 100% conversion and 95% electivity were achieved when using 1,6-hexanediamine as reactant. The acid functional ionic liquid catalyst syste...

The carboxyl-functionalized phosphonium ionic liquid (IL), [HCTMP][Tf(2)N], enabled the directed nucleation of monomeric or dimeric uranyl(vi) compounds. This new IL is the first carboxyl-functionalized IL which is liquid at room temperature and exhibits a wider electrochemical window and lower melting point than its ammonium analogue.

Flavanone was synthesized through the Claisen–Schmidt condensation between benzaldehyde and acetophenone and subsequent intramolecular Michael addition over aminopropyl-functionalized SBA-15 materials. The catalysts with well-ordered hexagonally arranged mesopores were synthesized by one-pot co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane and aminopropyltriethoxysilane using amphiphilic block copolymer as...

A SO3H-functionalized ionic liquid was used as an alternative to conventional inorganic acids in hydroxylamine stabilization, leading to the formation of a novel hydroxylamine ionic liquid salt that exhibits improved thermal stability and reactivity in the one-step, solvent-free synthesis of caprolactam in comparison with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and hydroxylamine sulfate.

A new nanostarch functionalized ionic liquid containing imidazolium cation and cobalt chelate anion was synthesized and tested for the one pot synthesis of carbamates by the reaction of amines and dimethyl carbonate (DMC), affording excellent yield of the products under solvent free mild reaction conditions. The synthesized ionic liquid was easily recovered and reused several times without any ...
