A novel Brønsted acidic ionic liquid namely N1,N1,N2,N2-tetramethyl-N1,N2-bis(sulfo)ethane-1,2-diaminium trifluoroacetate {[TMBSED][TFA]2} was synthesized, and characterized by studying its1H NMR, 13C NMR, 19F NMR and mass spectral data. Afterward, the ionic liquid was applied ascatalyst for the production of polyhydroquinoline derivatives via the one-pot multi-componentreaction of arylaldehyde...
