Ionic liquid functionalized cellulose as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the facile and green synthesis of benzoxazine, pyrazine and quinoxaline derivatives in aqueous media

摘要

Immobilization of acidic ionic liquid, 1-methyl-3-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl) imidazolium hydrogen sulfate on cellulose (Cell-[pmim]HSO4) as an efficient heterogenous catalyst for the simple and environmentally benign synthesis of benzoxazine, pyrazine and quinoxaline derivatives in aqueous media at room temperature is described. The catalyst was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction pattern. This method provides several advantages such as mild reaction conditions, environmentally friendly catalyst, good to excellent yields and simple work-up procedure.
