Organocatalytic Application of Ionic Liquids: [bmim][MeSO4] as a Recyclable Organocatalyst in the Multicomponent Reaction for the Preparation of Dihydropyrimidinones and -thiones
substitution in the latter. The ionic liquid can be recovered and reused for five consecutive reactions without significant loss of catalytic efficiency. The applicability of the methodology for large-scale reaction highlights its potential for bulk synthesis. ionic liquid - organocatalyst - multicomponent reaction - dihydropyrimidinone - dihydropyrimidinethione
