Abstract

An efficient supported ionic liquid catalyst is designed for condensation reaction of aldehydes and ketones. The Zr-based metal–organic framework (MOF), UiO-66-NH2, was initially functionalized with N,N′-dibutyl imidazolium ionic liquid (UiO-66-NH2-ILBr–), and then urea was attached to the ionic liquid (IL) to form a task-specific IL. Bromide was exchanged with tetrafluoroborate and the catalyst exhibits excellent performance for the synthesis of oximes. The ionic liquid/urea coupling showed a synergistic effect on the efficiency of the reaction. The supported catalyst system was recycled simply by filtration and reused for five times without significant decrease in its activity. The catalyst was characterized with PXRD, FTIR, TGA, XPS, BET, FE-SEM, EDS, elemental mapping and elemental analysis (CHN).
