Abstract

Brönsted acidic ionic liquids (BILs) were synthesized by a two step synthetic protocol. Catalytic activities of BILs were assessed by means of suitable catalytic reactions such as acylation of 2-methoxynapthalene with acetic anhydride, Biginelli reaction to synthesize 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one, stereoselective synthesis of β-amino ketone via direct Mannich-type reaction and esterification of hexanoic acid with benzyl alcohol. Catalytic activities of BILs were high when compared with those of solid acid catalysts such as ZSM-5, beta, dealuminated beta and Al-SBA-15. BILs catalysts were found to be highly stereo/regio-selective for above mentioned reactions. Novel BILs catalyst offers several attractive features such as low cost, high catalytic activity/selectivity and recyclability.

Graphical Abstract

N-methylimidazole and pyridine derived Brönsted acidic ionic liquids were found to be highly active and stereo/regio-selective compared to various solid acid catalysts in fine chemicals (1–5) synthesis.
