Ionic liquid mediated recyclable sulphonimide based organocatalysis for aldol reaction

Abstract

Sulphonimide based organocatalyst was used to catalyze the aldol reaction in ionic liquid media. On the basis of yield and selectivity the ionic liquid mediated system was found superior in comparison with organic solvents. The added advantages of this ionic liquid mediated organocatalysis are easy recovery of product and the recyclability of the organocatalyst. © 2010 Versita Warsaw and Springer-Verlag Wien.
