Abstract
Brønsted acidic ionic liquids based on benzimidazolium cation was synthesized and employed as an efficient catalysts for the Michael addition reaction of indoles to α,β-unsaturated ketones under mild conditions to afford the corresponding conjugate addition products in high yields (90%-98%). The catalyst 1-butyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)benzimidazolium p-toluenesulfonate ([PSbbim][p-CH3PhSO3]) could be reused at least three times without a noticeably decrease in its activity.
