Abstract

1,4-diazobicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) based ionic liquids were used as recyclable catalysts for the aza-Michael addition at room temperature without any organic solvent. A low loading of the very efficient [DABCO-PDO][OAc] catalyzed reactions of various amines with a wide range of α,β-unsaturated amides to afford products in very good yields within hours. Moreover, the catalyst could be reused up to eight times.
