Highly efficient aza-Michael reactions of aromatic amines and N-heterocycles catalyzed by a basic ionic liquid under solvent-free conditions

A task-specific basic ionic liquid, [Bmim]OH, has been introduced as a catalyst for the aza-Michael addition of aromatic amines and N-heterocycles to cyclic or acyclic ketones under neat conditions. The catalyst can be recycled for subsequent reactions without any appreciable loss of efficiency.
