Novel multi-SO3H functional ionic liquid for the conjugate addition of amines to electron deficient alkenes

Abstract The novel efficient procedure has been developed for the conjugate addition of amines to electron deficient alkenes. A novel multi-SO 3 H functioned ionic liquid has been synthesized for the conjugate addition. The results showed that the catalyst was very efficient for the reactions with the excellent yields in several minutes. Operational simplicity, without need of any solvent, low cost of the catalyst used, high yields, reusability, excellent chemoselectivity, applicability to large-scale reactions are the key features of this methodology.
