Phosphonium ionic liquids, due to their superior thermal stability and an inertness in weak basic reaction media, are receiving more and more attention. A series of phosphonium ionic liquids have been prepared starting from cheap tributylphosphine with various halogenated hydrocarbon. Then using 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) as catalyst and water-phosphonium ionic liquid composite system as reaction media, Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions of a variety of aldehydes with acrylonitrile, methyl acrylate or acrylamide were studied. Experimental results showed that the composite system of phosphonium ionic liquid with water can effectivily accelerate the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions of aromatic aldehydes and aliphatic aldehydes, and fast reaction rate and high yield were obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
