Abstract

Highly stable gold nanoparticles anchored on propynylcarbamate-functionalized silica (Au/SiO2@Yne) have been efficiently utilized for the heterogeneous hydroamination of phenylacetylene with aniline under different reaction conditions. In order to ascertain the eventual influence of surface silanol groups on the system activity and selectivity tailored modifications of Au/SiO2@Yne catalysts were pursued according to two different strategies, involving respectively functionalization with trimethylethoxysilane (Au/SiO2@Yne-TMS) or post-treatment with triethylamine (Au/SiO2@Yne-NEt3). The prepared materials were analysed by several complementary techniques such as Solid State NMR (SS NMR), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD). A comparison of the resulting catalytic activities with that of the pristine Au/SiO2@Yne revealed a significant improvement for Au/SiO2@Yne-NEt3 in terms of both conversion and selectivity. Recycling and stability studies showed a catalytic activity decrease after the first run, due to the formation of polyphenylacetylene (PPhA) oligomers shielding the active sites. PPhA removal by sonication in acetone fully restored the catalytic activity and empowered the system with a good operational stability, a very crucial issue in view of eventual practical applications.
