D'you know what amine? Primary and tertiary amines are both immobilized on the same silica–alumina surface by silane-coupling reactions. The resultant silica–alumina-supported double-amines are found to exhibit excellent catalysis for 1,3-dinitroalkane synthesis from various aldehydes with nitromethane. A cooperative catalytic mechanism on the solid surface for this efficient synthesis is proposed.
