title: Preparation of ordered large pore SBA-15 silica functionalized with aminopropyl groups through one-pot synthesis.
abstract: Highly ordered large pore SBA-15 silica functionalized with up to 16% aminopropyl groups, which gave high catalytic activity and selectivity toward flavanone synthesis through aldol condensation and subsequent intramolecular Michael addition of benzaldehyde and 2'-hydroxyacetophenone, was synthesized for the first time via co-condensation of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) using an amphiphilic block copolymer as the structure-directing agent.
