Synthesis of 4H-Benzopyrans Catalyzed by Acyclic Acidic Ionic Liquids tin Aqueous Media

摘要

Some halogen-free acyclic task-specific ionic liquids (TSILs) were synthesized as novel and recyclable catalysts for the synthesis of 5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydi-o-4H-benzo[b]pyrans by one-pot three-component condensation of aromatic aldehyde, malononitrile (or ethyl cyanoacetate), and dimedone (or 1,3-cyclohexanedione) in water. The condensation accomplished successfully with good yields ranged from 86 to 94%. After the reaction, the products could simply be separated from the catalyst/water, and the catalyst could be reused at least 10 times without noticeably decreasing the catalytic activity.
