Investigation of the cyanosilylation catalysed by metal-siliceous catalysts

Different amorphous mesoporous TUD-1 catalysts were employed in cyanosilylation of acetophenone with trimethylsilylcyanide in dichloromethane at room temperature. Catalysts were monometallic Al-TUD-1, Zr-TUD-1 and bimetallic Na–Al-TUD-1 and Al–Zr-TUD-1's with constant Si/metal ratio but different Al/Zr ratios. Al-TUD-1 proved to be the most...
