Abstract
AbstractAlthough it is well‐known that the Lewis acidity of Metal‐Organic Frameworks (MOFs) can effectively enhance their catalytic activity in organic transformations, access to these Lewis‐acidic sites remains a key hurdle to widespread applications of Lewis‐acidic catalysis by MOFs. Easy accessibility of strong Lewis acidic sites onto 2D MOFs by using proper activation methods can be a cornerstone in attaining desired catalytic performance. Herein, we report a new 2D chemically stable MOF, IITKGP‐60, which displayed excellent framework robustness over a wide pH range (2–12). Benefiting from the abundant open metal sites (OMSs) and framework robustness, the catalytic activity of the developed material was explored in one‐pot three‐component Strecker reaction and Knoevenagel condensation reaction. Moreover, the developed catalyst is superior in catalyzing the reactions involving sterically hindered substrate (1‐naphthaldehyde) with high turnover number. A comparative catalytic study was conducted using different activation methods (chloroform and methanol exchanged activated samples), highlighting the significant effect of activation methods on its catalytic performances. The sustainable synthetic pathway under solvent‐free conditions for a broad scope of substrates using low catalyst loading and excellent recyclability made the developed pH‐stable framework a promising heterogeneous catalyst.
