Sulfur-containing dehydrocantharidin(SD) was yielded (76% to 96%) by Diels-Alder reaction in an ionic-liquid system under ordinary pressure and temperature. We explored the influences of different ionic-liquid types, reaction temperatures, and reaction times in this reaction. We found that the optimal reaction temperature was about 35 degrees C, the reaction time was 20 h, and the most suitable ionic liquid was 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate. Furthermore, in the recycling process of ionic liquid, we found that CH3CN was the most suitable extraction solvent. We explored four steps in the synthetic route to SD and achieved a good yield of 38% in total. We envisage that this process could be further developed at an industrial scale for the synthesis of Cantharidin and is destined to be an environmentally friendly way to solve the lack of cantharis as a natural resource.
