Synthesis of mesoporous SiO₂-CeO₂ hybrid nanostructures with high catalytic activity for transamidation reaction.

ABSTRACT: Transamidation reactions catalyzed by boronic acid derivatives and metal catalysts are well known nevertheless their requirement for elevated temperatures and long reaction times were considered major obstacles in converting amides to N-alkyl amides with the coupling of primary amides and amines. The acidic-basic co-existence of ceria nanoparticles is considered a perfect choice for different catalytic activities. Mesoporous silica on the other hand is well known for its use as a supporting material for catalysts owing to its excellent characteristics like large surface area, good absorption capacity, and high-temperature stability. The SiO₂-CeO₂ hybrid nanocomposite was prepared by solvothermal route followed by annealing and the formation of the catalyst was
