“…233 In the presence of [BMIm]BF 4 , one-pot three-component condensation of anthranilic acid, carboxylic acid and aniline proceeded well with the aid of ultrasound irradiation, providing 4(3H)-quinazolinones in high yields. 234 Ionic liquid [BMIm]PF 6 has been demonstrated by Xu et al 235 to be an efficient and recyclable medium for highly chemoselective synthesis of 2,2-dimethyl-6-substituted 4-piperidones 123 via a L-proline catalyzed four-component tandem Mannich reaction of ammonia, aldehydes and acetone (Scheme 69). The ionic liquid [BMIm]PF 6 not only serves as a reaction medium, but also significantly enhances the chemoselectivity.…”
