Electronic upplementary Material (EI) for RC Advances This journal is The Royal ociety of Chemistry 2013 Experimental Characterizations The pore characteristics of the prepared materials were verified by the nitrogen sorption isotherm. Pore size distributions, pore volumes, surface areas, and BET isotherms were determined from N 2 adsorption-desorption experiments by using Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) method, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. The NMR spectra was recorded by Bruker NMR spectrometer ( 1 H frequency: 250 MHz, 13 C frequency: 62.9 MHz). The melting points were recorded by the Buchi 510 apparatus. Materials 3-Mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTM) was obtained from (Merck). Pluronic P123 (EO 20 PO 70 EO 20 )(EO= ethylene Oxide, PO= Propylene Oxide), M av = 5800) was purchased from Aldrich. Other chemicals and solvents were purchased from Fluka and Merck and used without further purification. Preparation of the BA-15-Pr-H The synthesis of BA-15-Pr-H has been achieved using the known procedure described by tucky and his co-workers. 1 This procedure involved a synthetic strategy based on cocondensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEO) and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTM) in the presence of Pluronic P123 as the structure directing agent. In a typical preparation procedure, 4.0 g of Pluronic P123 (Aldrich, average Mw =5800) was dissolved in 125 g of 1.9 M HCl solution with stirring at room temperature. The solution was heated to 40 C before adding 6.83g TEO. After 3 h pre-hydrolysis of TEO, 1.6 g thiol precursor MPTM was added. The resultant solution was stirred for 20 h at 40 C, after which the mixture was aged at 100 C for 24 h under static conditions. The solid was recovered by filtration and air dried at room temperature overnight. The template was removed from the as-synthesized material by washing with ethanol using a oxhelet apparatus for 24 h. 2

Electronic upplementary Material (EI) for RC Advances This journal is The Royal ociety of Chemistry 2013 Preparation of the BA-15-Pr-O 3 H Typically, 0.3 g of BA-15-Pr-H was suspended in 10 g of aqueous 30 wt% H 2 O 2. This suspension was stirred at room temperature in an Ar atmosphere for 24 h. After the oxidation treatment, the resulting solution was filtered and washed separately with water and ethanol. Finally, the wet material was suspended in 1M H 2 O 4 solution for 2h and then was washed several times with deionized water and ethanol and dried at 60 C vacuum overnight. Fig. 1 TGA diagram of BA-15-Pr-O 3 H 4 ph analysis of the BA-15-Pr-O 3 H To an aqueous solution of NaCl (1 M, 25 ml) with a primary ph 5.93, the catalyst (0.5 g) was added, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 2 h after which the ph of solution decreased to 1.51. This is equal to a loading of 1.55 mmol H + /g. 2 Preparation of 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate [MOIm + ][HO - 4 ] The synthesis of 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate [MOIm + ][HO - 4 ] has been achieved according to patented literature 3 with a little modification. In a flask equipped with a dropping funnel, a condenser and a magnetic stirrer 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium bromide (7.81 g ~ 0.028 mol) salt was dissolved in dry dichloromethane (100 ml). Then, the same molecular 3

Electronic upplementary Material (EI) for RC Advances This journal is The Royal ociety of Chemistry 2013 ratios of aqueous solution of concentrated sulfuric acid (97%) were carefully added to this solution. Then the mixture was heated under reflux for two days. From time to time, any HBr byproduct formed in the process was monitored by ph indicator papers. After the reaction completion, the solution was cooled to room temperature, and the dichloromethane was removed under vacuum. To remove any water (generated from aqueous sulfuric acid used) the ionic liquid was dried in a vacuum oven at 60 C over night. Preparation of the catalyst 1 The catalyst 1 was prepared by one-step impregnation of BA-15-Pr-O 3 H with the acetone solution of certain volume of [MOIm][HO 4 ] according to BET analysis of the synthesized BA- 15-Pr-O 3 H. 0.8 ml of [MOIm][HO 4 ] was dissolved in absolute acetone (5mL). This solution then dropwise added to a mixture containing of 100 ml acetone and 1 g of BA-15-Pr-O 3 H in an Ar atmosphere. After 3 h stirring at room temperature volatile solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the catalyst 1 was dried for hours at 60 C in a vacuum oven.

This is equal to a loading of 2.48 mmol H + /g of the catalyst 1. 5

Electronic upplementary Material (EI) for RC Advances This journal is The Royal ociety of Chemistry 2013 General procedure for solvent-free thioacetalization of carbonyl compounds at room temperature The carbonyl compound (1 mmol), 1,3-Propanedithiol (0.25-0.45 ml), and the catalyst 1 (~ 3 mol%, 0.012 g) were combined together at room temperature for times indicated in Table 1. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion of the reaction, the catalyst 1 was filtered off and washed with heptane (100 ml). Then 50 ml Et 2 O was added to the filtrate and the organic layer were washed with aqueous NaOH (3 15 ml, 10%) and dried (Na 2 O 4 ). Evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure gave the almost pure corresponding thioacetal and thioketal derivatives. Further purification of the products could be achieved by recrystallization of the derivatives in hexane to afford the corresponding pure products. References 1 D. Margolese, J. A. Melero,. C.
