Abstract:Brnsted acidic ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium -p-toluenesulfonate(IL1), was prepared using 1-ethylimidazole as raw material. A series of xanthenes were synthesized by condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes with 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione or 1,3-cyclohexanedione catalyzed by IL1 under solvent-free conditions. The structures were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESI-MS. The results indicated that 5 mol% IL1 as catalyst, reaction at 80 ℃ for 40 min, the yields were 78%~95%. The catalytic activity of IL1 keep stable with the yields of 86%~89% after recycling of three times.
