Abstract

Chromium containing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) Cr-MIL-100 and Cr-MIL-101 are widely used as catalysts for many organic reactions. Usage of such MOFs as ester amidation catalysts is reported for the first time. Cr-MIL-100 and Cr-MIL-101 are easier in usage than classical homogeneous basic catalysts (NaOH or CH3OH) due to its insolubility in reaction mixtures and obviously more active than numbers of elsewhere reported heterogeneous catalysts. Addition of small amounts of MOFs leads to significant increasing of amidation reaction rate and product yields.
