Abstract

The utilization of the ionic liquid [bmim][BF₄] as both reaction medium and promoter for the Knoevenagel condensation and Michael addition reactions is described in this paper. Through these reactions, several useful electrophilic alkenes and chromene derivatives are obtained in high yields. The advantages of these two novel procedures include their environmentally benign nature, atom economy, simple operation process, and mild reaction conditions.
