Tandem catalysis with a bifunctional site-isolated Lewis acid-Brønsted base metal-organic framework, NH2-MIL-101(Al)

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Dec 11;48(95):11650-2. doi: 10.1039/c2cc36678a.

Abstract

A metal-organic framework (MOF), NH(2)-MIL-101(Al), which acts as a bifunctional, site-isolated Lewis acid-Brønsted base heterogeneous catalyst, catalyzes a tandem Meinwald rearrangement-Knoevenagel condensation reaction with remarkable substrate selectivity.
