Synthesis of the catalyst (Fe-Al-MCM-41): As described in
our previous work [33], iron was incorporated into the meso-
porous aluminosilicate (Al-MCM-41) by the ion-exchange
method. A 0.5 g amount of Al-MCM-41 was added to 100 mL
0.001 M methanolic solution of FeCl3·6H2O, and the mixture
was stirred vigorously for 12 h. The resultant solid was then
filtered. To remove the excess FeCl3, the isolated solid was
washed by Soxhlet extraction using methanol. The resulting
solid was dried in an oven at 80 °C and characterized. The cata-
lyst was then used directly in reactions without any further acti-
vation.

Disintegration of mesoporous structure: The mesoporous
structure is known to disintegrate during boiling with water, due
to silicate hydrolysis [48]. The disintegration of the meso-
porous structure was achieved by boiling Fe-Al-MCM-41 with
millipore water. The liquid-to-sample ratio was fixed at 1 Lg−1.
After 12 h of heating, the sample was filtered and dried in an
oven for 2 h at 398 K. The XRD patterns of the dried sample
revealed that the mesoporous integrity was totally lost. The
catalytic reaction was performed with this “degraded-Fe-Al-
