A simple and practical thio-Michael addition of α,β-unsaturatedamides catalyzed by Nmm-based ionic liquids with a 1,2-propanediol group has been developed. All the α,β-unsaturatedamides without substituents at the carbon end could smoothly react with sulfur-nucleophiles in water. Meanwhile for thio-Michael addition of α,β-unsaturatedamides with substituents at the carbon end, the relevant product
