Organic Reactions in Ionic Liquids;Ionic Liquid-Accelerated Three-Component Reaction: A Rapid One-PotSynthesis of 3-Alkyl-5-[(<i>Z</i>)-arylmethylidene]-1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-diones
A rapid one-pot synthesis of 3-alkyl-5-[(Z)-arylmethylidene]-1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dionesis described that occurs in recyclable ionic liquid [bmim]PF6 (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate).Significant rate enhancement and good selectivity have been observed.
