Synthesis of orthoaminocarbonitrile tetrahydronaphthalenes catalyzed by butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid base catalyst

In this research, the treatment of cyclohexanone, malononitrile, and aromatic aldehydes was carried out for successful synthesis orthoaminocarbonitrile tetrahydronaphthalenes by using butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate as a base catalyst. protocol, target products were obtained in high to excellent yields between 85% 95% short reaction times 10 20 min under mild conditions. All identified melting points, FT-IR, 1H NMR techniques.
