[ 1 ] - 1,3-Disulfonic acid imidazolium hydrogen sulfate {[Dsim]HSO4} as a highly efficient, recyclable and green catalyst for the preparation of α,α´-bis(arylidene)cycloalkanones

A highly efficient and simple method for the preparation of α,α´-bis(arylidene)cycloalkanones under solvent-free conditions has been developed. The crossed-aldol condensation of cycloalkanones (1 eq.) with arylaldehydes (2 eq.) in the presence of 2.5 mol% of ionic liquid 1,3-disulfonic acid imidazolium hydrogen sulfate {[Dsim]HSO4} afforded the title compounds in high yields and short reaction ...
