A trifunctional mesoporous silica-based, highly active catalyst for one-pot, three-step cascade reactions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 May 18;51(40):8496-9. doi: 10.1039/c5cc01694k.

Abstract

We report the synthesis of a trifunctional catalyst containing amine, sulphonic acid and Pd nanoparticle catalytic groups anchored on the pore walls of SBA-15. The catalyst efficiently catalyzes one-pot three-step cascade reactions comprising deacetylation, Henry reaction and hydrogenation, giving up to ∼100% conversion and 92% selectivity to the final product.
