Abstract

Here is a solution to a classical problem: How to put, in one pot, both an acid and a base without their mutual destruction? The sol-gel materials method offers an approach: acids or bases are entrapped within these materials, and then organic reaction sequences, which require these opposing reagents, are carried out simultaneously or consecutively in the same pot (see scheme).
