SILICA GEL FUNCTIONALIZED WITH AMINO GROUPS AS A NEW CATALYST FOR KNOEVENAGEL CONDENSATION UNDER HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS CONDITIONS

Knoevenagel condensation has been carried out under heterogeneous catalysis conditions using amino groups immobilized on silica gel: the results show that the catalytic support is recoverable without regeneration, and that the matrix probably participates to the catalysis mechanism.
