2-Oxazolines have been synthesized using a solventless ionic liquid melt in good yields at ambient temperatures. The efficiency of various Lewis acid catalysts for the same reaction has been compared. The effectiveness of different alkyl chains in the ionic liquids for the synthesis of oxazolines has been studied and a butylmethylimidazolinium chloride/indium chloride melt has been found to be the best media for promoting the reaction.
