HyEtPyCl-H2O: an efficient and versatile solvent system for the DABCO-catalyzed Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction

摘要

An efficient and versatile solvent-catalyst system, HyEtPyCl-H2O-DABCO, has been developed and used in the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction. Under the mild reaction conditions, Morita-Baylis-Hillman proceeds very quickly and efficiently. This protocol has notable advantages such as eco-friendliness, ease of work-up and reuse of ionic liquid conveniently, which could help reduce disposal costs and contribute to the development of a new solvent-catalyst system for use in green and continuous chemical processes.
