efficient and eco-friendly synthesis of quinoxalines derivatives catalyzed by acidic ionic liquids at room temperature

in this research, we have developed cheap recyclable and task-specific acidic ionic liquids (ails) 1-hydrogen-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate [hmim]hso4, 1-hydrogen-3-methylimidazolium chloride [hmim]cl, 2-pyrrolidonium hydrogensulfate [hnhp]hso4 and applied them in acid catalyzed synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives from 1,2-phenylendiamines and 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds. the products could be separated from the catalyst simply by filtration and the catalyst could be recycled and reused several times without noticeable loss of efficiency.
