cation ionicliquids (CECILs) were designed, synthesised and characterised by NMR spectroscopy, HRMS, thermogravimetric differential thermal analysis (TG‐DTA) and elemental analysis. Their applications in various organic reactions were investigated: [15‐C‐5Na][OH], [15‐C‐5Na][OAc], [18‐C‐6K][OH] and [18‐C‐6K][OAc] (15‐C‐5=[15]crown‐5; 18‐C‐6=[18]crown‐6) efficiently catalysed the Michael addition of alkenes

Magnesium oxide (MgO), obtained using a novel but simple procedure, was systematically investigated as a heterogeneous base catalyst for reactions taking place in the liquid phase, specifically the Michael addition and the Knoevenagel condensation. The activity of MgO was studied in detail, together with the effects of solvent and substrate on the catalytic activity for each type of reaction. A key finding is that the formation of enols affected the activity of MgO. The experimental results show that the activity of MgO did not change when it was reused and it is an excellent heterogeneous catalyst for the reactions studied.
An efficient and convenient highly enantioselective Michaeladdition of malononitrile to enones has been developed by using quinine as the organocatalyst. The adducts were isolated in excellent yield and high asymmetric induction (up to 95% ee). An easy route to difficultly accessible ester derivatives has been also disclosed.

The highly enantioselective Michael addition of malononitrile to acyclic and cyclic alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones has been developed. The Michaelreaction catalyzed by a primary amine derived from quinidine proceeded smoothly and provided the desired adducts with excellent enantioselectivities (83-97% ee).
