Highly efficient green mesostructured urea functionalized on SBA-15 catalysts for selective synthesis of benzlidenemalononitrile

A series of urea-immobilized SBA-15 catalysts were synthesized via post grafting method using 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilane (CPTES) as the anchoring agent. The solid catalyst was characterized by PXRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, FT-IR, elemental analyzer, TEM, CO2-TPD and 29Si CP/MAS NMR. Detailed an...
