| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This work explores the use of boron nitride as a novel catalyst with base and acid functionalities. For use as a solid catalyst, the layered structure of h-BN was disrupted by ball-milling, exposing boron and nitrogen edge-sites as well as increasing the surface area from 3 to ca. 400 m2 g-1. FTIR, XPS and 1H MAS NMR measurements indicated simultaneous and adjacent formation of amino and hydroxyl groups by milling, which function as Brønsted base and acid sites, respectively. Despite its weak basicity, the ball-milled h-BN showed high activity and selectivity toward beta-nitroalkenes for the nitroaldol reaction and the Knoevenagel condensation, whereas non-treated h-BN did not show activity. This study shows the high catalytic activity of BN, a solid catalyst with moderate basicity and weak acidity.
