Formylation of amines and alcohols using aminopropylated mesoporous SBA-15 silica (APMS) as an efficient and recyclable catalyst

Abstract

Aminopropylated mesoporous SBA-15 silica (APMS) is introduced as a new, recyclable and efficient catalyst for the formylation of a variety of amines and alcohols by using readily available formic acid under solvent-free conditions.
