摘要

A Bronsted acid-derived metal-organic framework (MOF) has been developed to serve as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for a [4+2] cycloaddition. Aromatic sulfonyl groups were successfully installed using commercially available anhydridic reagents during post-synthetic modifications. The MIL-101-NH-RSO3H MOF catalyst was fully characterized by SEM, PXRD, FTIR, TGA and N-2 adsorption/desorption isotherm. Furthermore, a novel [4+2] cycloaddition of substituted Z-vinyl-substituted phenol was evaluated. The MIL-101-NH-RSO3H catalyst showed superior catalytic capabilities when compared to a few other strong homogeneous Bronsted acid catalysts. The MIL-101-NH-RSO3H catalyst is compatible with a variety of substituted substrates and it can be recycled five times without loss of yield or selectivity.
