Nicotine-based ionic liquid has been used as a green catalyst for pyridine-catalyzed Huisgen reaction. It promoted addition of dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate to aldehydes or N-tosyl imines leading to efficient synthesis of 2-benzoylfumarates and 1-azadienes respectively under pyridine free odorless ionic liquid conditions. The improved results were obtained in terms of enhanced yields, with min...

This article describes 1) a methodology for the green synthesis of a class of methylammonium and methylphosphonium ionic liquids (ILs), 2) how to tune their acid-base properties by anion exchange, 3) complete neat-phase NMR spectroscopic characterisation of these materials and 4) their application as active organocatalysts for base-promoted carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. Methylation of t...

Ionic liquid 1,3-disulfonic acid imidazolium trifluoroacetate ([Dsim][TFA]) has been exploited as a highly efficient catalyst for the one-pot pseudo five-component reaction of phenylhydrazine (2 eq.) with ethyl acetoacetate (2 eq.) and arylaldehydes (1 eq.) in ethanol (reflux conditions). In this reaction, 4,4′‐(arylmethylene)‐bis(3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐ pyrazol‐5‐ol)s have been obtained in high ...

The Brønsted acidic ionic liquid ([BMIm]HSO4) catalyzed three-component synthesis of 2H-indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-trione derivatives at room temperature. The integrity of the ionic liquid remains reasonably unchanged when it is separated from the reaction mixture by water extraction, as it can be recycled several times without any loss of activity in each of the title syntheses. The products a...

α-Amino nitriles are synthesized in a one-pot, three-component coupling of aldehydes (or ketones), aniline, and trimethylsilyl cyanide using a catalytic amount of choline chloride.2ZnCl2 as a bio Lewis acidic ionic liquid. Mild Lewis acidic characteristic of this ionic liquid allows efficient synthesis of α-amino nitriles from acid sensitive aldehydes.

The selective nitrosation of β-dicarbonyl compounds with sodium nitrite was carried out under1-methyl-3-carboxymethylimidazolium chloride, prepared from N-methylimidazole andchloroacetic acid, as an acidic ionic liquid. The reaction was found to proceed under relativelymild conditions with excellent conversion and selectivity. The ionic liquid was recycled andreused.

In this research, a green, operationally simple, highly efficient and facile cascade Biginelli reaction using various aromatic aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate, and urea/thiourea has been developed. First, the ionic liquid was prepared from the reaction of 1-methyl-2-pyrolidone with methane sulfonic acid. Then, this ionic liquid was applied as an acidic catalyst in the synthesis of dihydropyrimidi...

In this research, various polycyclic fused acridines were synthesized via the highly efficient and green one-step four-component reaction between isatins, dimedone, various amines, and dimethylacetylenedicarboxylates (DMAD/DEAD) in the presence of n-octyl-3-methylpipyridinium bromide ([OMePPy]+Br-) as a newly prepared ionic liquid, in absolute green situations at room temperature under solvent-...
