title: A yolk-shell nanoreactor with a basic core and an acidic shell for cascade reactions.
abstract: Smart yolk-shell nanoparticles (hollow nanoparticles with a movable core) with an acidic shell and a basic core were fabricated through an organosilane-assisted selective etching method and acted as efficient nanoreactors for catalyzing a deacetalization-Henry cascade reaction with high activity and high selectivity. This strategy is very promising for the design of multifunctional nanoreactors for cascade reactions.
