Highly ordered acid functionalized SBA-15: a novel organocatalyst for the preparation of xanthenes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Jun 21;47(23):6677-9. doi: 10.1039/c1cc11007a. Epub 2011 May 4.

Abstract

Post-synthesis modification of SBA-15 has been carried out to design highly ordered acid functionalized hybrid mesoporous organosilica, AFS-1. This material has been used as an efficient heterogeneous organocatalyst for the syntheses of xanthenes under mild conditions in the absence of any other metal co-catalyst.
