title: A unique heterogeneous nucleophilic catalyst comprising methylated nitrogen-substituted porous silica provides high product selectivity for the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction.
abstract: Methylated nitrogen-substituted microporous and mesoporous silica exhibited almost the same catalytic performance as that of a conventional homogeneous base catalyst. They also demonstrated unexpectedly high product selectivity for the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction of formaldehyde with methyl acrylate at high temperatures.
