Recently, the research into ionic liquids was blooming (1). This is mainly due to the favourable properties of ionic liquids, such as non-flammability, no measurable vapour pressure, low toxicity, reusability, low cost and high thermal stability. In addition to the polar properties of the ionic liquids, they are noncoordinating, which can avoid any undesired solvent binding in pre-transition states. Due to their unique properties, we envisage that ionic liquids will provide interesting perspectives of how green chemistry can be integrated into organic chemistry. In this article, we will continue our previous discussion and provide the details of current investigations we have done on using ionic liquids in reactions involving allylation reaction and the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes and polyhydroquinoline derivatives.

InCl -Promoted Allylation of Aldehydes in Ionic Liquids (2) 3

Allylation reactions of various carbonyl compounds are valuable C-C bond forming reactions for the preparation of synthetically useful homoallylic alcohols (2). Although Lewis acid or Brønsted acid catalyzed allylation reactions in aqueous media with allytributyltin have been reported (2,3,4), more active and efficient catalytic systems are still highly sought-after. Recently, our group had © 2007 American Chemical Society

We first carried out our study on the InCl -promoted allylation using benzaldehyde and allyltributyltin in various different type of ionic liquids. The results are summarized in Table 1. It was found that the allylation reactions went smoothly with moderate to good yields (60% to 80%). Among them, [hmim]Cl and [omim]Cl gave us the best results (80% and 82% respectively). 3

179 We then directed our studies to investigate the allylation reaction with various aldehydes in the presence of InCl in hexylmethylimidazolium chloride, [hmimJCl. The results are shown in Table 2. In all cases, InCl proved to be an efficient promoter for both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to afford the desired products in moderate to high yields. 3

Efforts were made to recycle and reuse the ionic liquid and catalyst. This process was investigated starting with fresh [hmimJCl and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde in the presence of InCl (Table 3). After the reaction, the ionic liquid, together 3

180 with the InCl , was recycled and reused for the second cycle. Unfortunately, no desired product was obtained (Table 3, entry 2). This could be due to the transmetallation of tin with InCl . Thus, 1 equivalent of InCl was required to be added to the recycled ionic liquid at every cycle to allow the allylation reaction to proceed in good yields (Table 3, entries 3,4 and 5). 3

We also investigated the asymmetric version of allylation reaction in ionic liquids by adding different types of chiral ligands. We screened through some of the chiral ligands, as shown in Figure 1, with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde in [hmim]Cl. Among them, (S)-2-(diphenylmethanol)-l-(2-pyridylmethyl) pyrrolidine 7 gave the best enantioselectivity.

We then proceeded to use 7 and examined a series of ionic liquids in the asymmetric allylation reaction. The results are summarized in Table 4. The allylation proceeded smoothly in these six ionic liquids with low to moderate enantioselectivities (16% to 48% ee), and the reaction carried out in [hmimJCl gave the best result (Table 4, entry 2, 88% yield, 48% ee). The reaction of various aldehydes in [hmimJCl and 7 as the chiral ligand was subsequently studied and good to moderate yields were obtained. The results are shown in Table 5.

Lewis Acid-Catalyzed Synthesis of Bis(indolyl)methanes in Ionic Liquids (8,9) The biologically active indoles and their derivatives have long been of interest as pharmaceuticals (10). Bisindolylalkanes and their derivatives have received more attention because of their existence as bioactive metabolites of terrestrial and marine origin (11). The simple method for the synthesis of this class of compounds involves the electrophilic substitution of indoles with various aldehydes and ketones in the presence of either protic (12) or Lewis acids (13,14). However, more than stoichiometric amounts of Lewis acids are required due to deactivation of the catalyst by the basic nitrogen (15). Recently, LiC10 (16), In(OTf) (17) and I (18) were found to catalyze this reaction. Although these catalysts are very useful and efficient, the long reaction time (4 to 10 hours), complicated manipulation, along with the use of organic solvents with their poor recovery and reusability, limited their development from the viewpoint of green chemistry. Hence, we decided to investigate the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes in ionic liquids catalyzed by an appropriate Lewis acid. First, we studied the effect of different ionic liquids on this reaction using In(OTf) . Six different systems using [bmim]BF , [bmim]PF , [hmim]PF , [omim]PF , [dmim]PF and [hmimJCl were employed in our investigation. The results are shown in Table 6. It was found that in BF and PF type ionic liquids, the electrophilic substitution reactions of indoles with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde proceeded smoothly with high yields. However, no desired products were obtained when using [hmimJCl (Table 6, entry 6). We then examined the catalytic activity of different Lewis acids in [omim]PF and the results are as shown in Table 7 . The reaction proceeded 4

The reactivities of various aldehydes were then investigated with the optimized In(OTf) in [omim]PF system. The results are shown in Table 8. Overall, the reaction proceeded with both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with good to excellent yields. We then continued our study on the reusability of the In(OTf) in [omim]PF . We found that the catalytic activity of In(OTf) gradually decreased in the second and third cycles (Table 10). In the fourth cycle, we did not observe any desired product. However, following the addition of another 5 mol% of In(OTf) to the recycled [omim]PF , the reaction proceeded with the same efficiency as fresh ionic liquid. Although we have developed an efficient In(OTf) -catalyzed electrophilic substitution reaction of indoles with various aldehydes to synthesize the bis(indolyl)methanes, the deactivation of In(OTf) was observed during the recycling process. As a result, it is essential for us to continue our study to develop a more practical and efficient catalytic systems. 3

Fe(III) salts are well known to catalyze many organic transformations, including oxidation of sulfides (19), Michael reaction (20), thia-Fries rearrangement (21) and the synthesis of 1,6-anhydroglucopyraboses (22). Recently, Suranna et al. reported the Michael addition of acetylacetone and methyl vinyl ketone in ionic liquids catalyzed by several metal complexes (23), including FeCl -6H 0. They found that the catalytic activity was strongly dependent on the presence of halide impurities of the ionic liquids. In view of the excellent properties of Fe(III) salts such as commercial availability, ease of handling and low toxicity, we decided to investigate the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes using Fe(III) salts as the catalyst. 3

187 We screened through a series of Fe(III) salt for the condensation reaction of indoles and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde using [omim]PF . The results are summarized in Table . We found that 96% yield was obtained while using FeCl -6H 0 as the catalyst (Table , entry 1). The activity of FeCl -6H 0 was shown to be as good as the activity of In(OTf) (Table , entry 9). Using Fe(N0 ) -9H 0 as a catalyst, the reaction proceeded slowly and, after 48 hours, 95% yield was obtained. However, when changing the catalyst to Fe (S0 ) ;cH 0, the condensation reaction did not proceed (Table , entry 3). We also tested on the catalytic activities of other different transition metal chlorides, such as CoCl -6H 0, NiCl -6H 0, CuCl -6H 0, SmCl -5H 0 and LiCl (Table , entry 4 to entry 8). Among them, only CoCl -6H 0 is able to promote the condensation reaction and give us the desired product in 55% yield (Table , entry 4). 6

With the above information, we continued our study on the reusability of the [omim]PF6/FeCl -6H 0 system. In Table , we compared the yields of the condensation reaction using the recycled [omim]PF with two different catalysts, In(OTf) and FeCl -6H 0, and it was found that [omim]PF6/FeCl -6H 0 can be easily recycled and reused for the condensation reaction up to at least 4 cycle with good yields. 3

Ionic Liquids-Promoted One-Pot Synthesis of Polyhydroquinoline Derivatives under Solvent Free Conditions(24) Recently, much attention has been directed towards the synthesis of 1,4dihydro pyridyl compounds. This is mainly due to their biological activities (2530). This group of compounds are known as the "chain-cutting agent" of factor IV channel (25-28) which can cure the disordered heart ratio (29,30). As a result, many methods were reported for the synthesis of these polyhydroquinoline derivatives. However, most of them require long reaction times, harsh reaction conditions and large amount of organic solvent. Therefore, simpler methods to synthesize this useful polyhydroquinoline are sought after. To continue our previous work, we developed a four-component synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives in the presence of a catalytic amount of ionic liquids under solvent free condition (Scheme 1). 1

Conclusion In addition to our previous investigations on ionic liquids, our group has effectively developed useful methodologies for allylation reactions. We have also investigated the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes and polyhydroquinoline derivatives using ionic liquids. We strongly believe that the simplicities of all these methods have provided easy access and effective pathways to synthesize synthetically useful organic compounds. In conclusion, we envisage that the use of ionic liquids will continue to attract attention in years to come.
