In conclusion, we have for the first time developed a novel solid base catalyst, Ndoped MOF-253 derived porous carbons (Cz-MOF-253). Cz-MOF-253 is highly porous and exhibit high efficiency in Knoevenagel condensation reaction. Furthermore, Cz-MOF-253 is robust and can be reused up to five times. In comparison, the analogous nitrogen-free catalyst-Cz-DUT-5, and other nitrogen- MOFs derived carbon showed an inferior performance. Moreover, the high basicity and porous nature enable the design of bifunctional catalyst and facilitate tandem condensation-hydrogenation reactions. This work delineates the first attempt that demonstrates MOF-derived carbons as solid base catalyst and its potential application in tandem catalysis. Future work on exploring new catalytic reactions based on such porous Lewis basic MOF-derived carbons is currently underway.
