The application of three-dimensional, mesoporous titanosilicates (Ti-SBA-12 and Ti-SBA-16) as reusable, solid catalysts for the synthesis of a range of β-amino alcohols in high yields and selectivity through ring-opening of epoxides with amines at ambient and solvent-free conditions is reported, for the first time. These mesoporous titanosilicates (Si/Ti = 20–80) were prepared by a direct hydrothermal synthesis route adjusting the concentration of HCl (0.05–2 M) used in the synthesis. Ti ions in these catalysts were mostly substituted for Si in the framework. Water adsorption and 29Si magic-angle spin nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed that Ti-SBA-16 is more hydrophobic than Ti-SBA-12. Mesoporosity, three-dimensional architecture, surface hydrophobicity and easy access of Lewis acidic, framework-substituted Ti sites are the factors responsible for the superior activity of Ti-SBA-16 compared to Ti-SBA-12 and the hitherto known solid catalysts for this reaction.
