Isocyanurate bridging periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO-ICS) was shown to be a highly active and efficient recyclable catalyst for the three-component synthesis of imidazole derivatives from benzoin, different aldehydes and ammonium acetate under mild reaction conditions in short reaction times and good to excellent yields in EtOH. Also, benzimidazole derivatives were efficiently prepared from o-phenylenediamine and different aldehydes in the presence of PMO-ICS. Moreover, the catalyst was also recovered and reused at least four times without a significant decrease in its activity. The PMO-ICS catalyst was characterized by Fourier transformer infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm (NADI) techniques as well as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Compared to the classical methodologies, this method illustrated significant advantages including low loading of the catalyst, avoiding the use of toxic transition metals or reactive reagents for modification of the catalytic activity, short reaction times, high to excellent yields, easy separation and purification of the products, and reusability of the catalyst.
