Abstract

We describe the production and catalytic application of highly functionalized mesoporous carbonaceous materials, obtained via a one step green and cheap process relying on the hydrothermal carbonization of carbohydrates (e.g. glucose) in the presence of functional organic monomers (e.g. vinyl imidazole). The resulting materials could be further functionalized to feature imidazolium bromides on their surface and be used for various transesterification, Knoevenagel and Aldol reactions.
