The catalyst showed remarkable improvement in time and yield in comparison to other solid catalysts. The heterogeneous catalyst can be reused at least three times without a significant loss in activity. %K 1 %K 1-diarylalkenes %K heterogeneous catalysis %K Fe-Al-MCM-41 %U http://dx.doi.org/10.3762/bjoc.9.6
