Abstract

A novel heterogeneous catalyst of silver nanoparticles was prepared by using a nickel metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) as a template. The catalyst has a very high catalytic activity and a strict structural selectivity towards linear aliphatic aldehydes in an A³ coupling reaction. The catalyst could be recovered by simple phase separation and reused for many times without obvious loss of activity.

General Procedure for the A ³ Coupling Reaction To a solution of aldehyde (1.0 mmol) and amine (1.2 mmol) in MeCN (5.0 mL) was added a certain loading of catalyst (5.0 mg). Then the mixture was degassed in vacuum and put into a nitrogen atmosphere. After adding alkyne (1.5 mmol) into the mixture, it was heated at 70-80 ˚C for a required reaction time. Then the solid phase was filtered off and residue solvent was evaporated under vacuum. Product was obtained after purification by column chromatography.
