Herein, we report the synthesis and application of
mesoporous siliceous MCM-41-nPr-NHSO3H, which was
characterized by XRD, IR, TGA and nitrogen physisorption
measurements. MCM-41-nPr-NHSO3H was used as an efficient
heterogeneous catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of
imidazoles derivatives under solvent free conditions with
good to excellent yields. The present methodology offers
several advantages such as lesswaste, simplicity of procedure,
short reaction time, easy and quick isolation of the products.
