Abstract

An amine-functionalized metal organic framework (MOF) was used as highly efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for Knoevenagel condensation of various aromatic aldehydes and ketones in ethanol. The catalytic efficiency was demonstrated by the high conversion of the reactants with 100% selectivity under microwave (µW) irradiation, while dramatically reduced the reaction time as compared to the conventional heating method. Importantly, the MOF maintained its structural integrity after catalytic reactions and it could be reused several times without remarkable loss of activity.
