Abstract

Preparation of N-(3-silicapropyl) imidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([Sipim]HSO4) as a heterogeneous acidic ionic liquid is described. This heterogeneous ionic liquid was used as catalyst for the synthesis of α-aminonitriles by a one-pot condensation of aldehydes, amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanide at room temperature. Catalyst could be recycled for several times without any additional treatment.A simple and efficient procedure for the preparation of silica-based acidic ionic liquid ([Sipim]HSO4) is described. This heterogeneous solid acid is employed as a catalyst for the synthesis of a-amino nitriles at room temperature.
