Significance

Two types of SBA-15-based mesoporous silica bearing sulfonic acid groups (SBA-SO3H) and amine groups (SBA-NH2), respectively, were prepared according to equation 1. Acid hydrolysis of acetals and subsequent C–C bond-forming condensation (i.e., a Henry reaction and a ­Knoevenagel reaction) were achieved in a flow ­system using a single packed-bed reactor charged with SBA-SO3H and SBA-NH2 (eq. 2).

Comment

SBA-SO3H and SBA-NH2 were characterized by TEM, FT-IR, N2 adsorption and desorption, BET, TGA, and TPD analyses. The authors also prepared a catalyst functionalized with both SO3H and NH2 groups, SBA- SO3H/NH2, but its catalytic activity was inferior to that of a physical mixture of SBA-SO3H and SBA-NH2.
