Porous Organic Polymers (POPs) are versatile materials with high potential in organic catalysis. Nitrogen-rich POPs with -OH phenolic groups were synthesized under mild reaction conditions and showed excellent catalytic activity in metal-free Henry and Knoevenagel condensation reactions.
Owing to linkage and building block diversity, Porous Organic Polymers (POPs) are versatile materials with high potential in organic catalysis. Herein, nitrogen-rich POPs bearing -OH phenolic groups were synthesized via the diazo-coupling reactions between phloroglucinol and benzidine (PgBd-POP), and between 1,3,5-tris(4-amino-phenyl)triazine and 4,4'-[1,1 '-biphenyl]-4,4 '-diylbis(diazene-2,1-diyl))diphenol (TAPT-Bd(PhOH)2-POP), under mild reaction conditions. The mesoporous polymers exhibited a BET surface area of 276 +/- 4 m(2) g(-1) and 1.94 +/- 0.06 m(2) g(-1), and chemical stability up to 315 degrees C and 330 degrees C, respectively. Both POPs were used as catalysts in metal-free Henry and Knoevenagel condensation reactions between aromatic aldehydes and nitromethane and ethyl cyanoacetate, respectively, under mild conditions. PgBd-POP showed a remarkable efficiency of up to 99% conversion and >99% selectivity, for the Henry nitroaldol reaction between 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and nitro-methane, after only 1 h at room temperature, whereas TAPT-Bd(PhOH)(2)-POP generally exhibited the highest catalytic activity towards the Knoevenagel reaction, with up to 99% conversion for the condensation of 4-nitro-benzaldehyde with ethyl cyanoacetate, after 1 h at room temperature. These results confirm the potential of this class of porous materials as green catalysts for organic reactions.
