This paper presents the construction of magnetically responsive solid strong base catalyst K-400@Fe3O4@C, which exhibits excellent catalytic performance at 400 degrees Celsius and can be recovered within 10 seconds due to its superparamagnetism.
Solid strong bases can catalyze a variety of organic reactions under mild conditions. Their preparation consists of loading base precursors (e.g. KNO3) on porous supports followed by activating to convert base precursors to basic sites (e.g. K2O). However, high temperatures are usually required for activation, which consumes lots of energy and damages the structure of supports. Moreover, filtration or centrifugation is mainly adopted for the recovery of solid base catalysts, which is tedious and limits their applications to some extent. In this paper, we constructed multifunctional core-shell structured Fe3O4@C microspheres as the supports owing to the reducibility of carbon shell and the magnetism of Fe3O4 core, thus creating magnetically responsive solid strong bases under mild conditions. Strong basic sites can be formed at a low temperature of 400 degrees C due to the redox reaction between the carbon shell and the base precursor, yielding the solid base K-400@Fe3O4@C. Such a temperature is obviously lower than the temperature for the decomposition of KNO3 on the frequently used supports SiO2 (750 degrees C) and Al2O3 (500-700 degrees C). The resultant solid base K-400@Fe3O4@C exhibits excellent catalytic activity in transesterification reaction, and the yield of target product dimethyl carbonate is higher than some benchmarks like MgO, CsX, and Na2O/Al2O3. In addition, thanks to the superparamagnetism, the solid base catalysts can be recovered within 10 s with the assistance of external magnetic fields.
