Ionic Liquid [DABCO-H][HSO₄] as a Highly Efficient and Recyclable Catalyst for Friedel–Crafts Alkylation in the Synthesis of Bis(naphthol)methane and Bis(indolyl)methane Derivatives

Abstract

A simple and highly efficient approach to the synthesis of bis(naphthol)methane (BNM) and bis(indolyl)methane (BIM) derivatives has been developed. In the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO)-based ionic liquid catalysts, which are environmental friendly, inexpensive, and recyclable, the reaction afforded the corresponding products in good to excellent yields within short times under solvent-free conditions. The catalysts can be easily recovered and reused several times without significant loss in activity.
