Abstract

Highly ordered large-pore SBA-15 materials functionalized with a high loading of amino groups were synthesized for the first time by co-condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and [3-(methylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane (MAPTMS) using an amphiphilic block copolymer. Addition of inorganic salt to the initial mixture greatly enhanced the mesostructure ordering and stability of the mesoporous materials. The materials thus obtained showed high catalytic activity and selectivity for the synthesis of flavanones by means of the Claisen–Schmidt condensation in the absence of solvent.
