Abstract

The ordered mesoporous silicas MCM-48, MCM-41, and SBA-15 were synthesized and functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). The X-ray diffraction patterns before and after functionalization revealed no structural degradation during the process. FT-IR spectra of the materials clearly indicated the anchoring of the aminopropyl moiety with silanol groups. The amine concentrations were calculated using TG-DTA and CHN analysis. The amine-loaded materials were assessed as catalysts for the transesterification of triacetin with methanol. MCM-48-NH2, in which the pores are interconnected in a three-dimensional manner, exhibited superior catalytic activity to one- dimensional MCM41-NH2 and SBA-15-NH2, even with lower concentrations of the amine group.
