Yields refer to the pure isolated products. The structures of all known products were confirmed by comparison of melting point and spectral data (FT-IR, 1H NMR) with literature data
for known compounds.

Next, the one-pot four-component condensations of aromatic alde-
hydes, dimedone, ethyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate under op-
timized conditions for the preparation of ethyl 4-(aryl)-2,7,7-trimethyl-
5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline-3-carboxylate derivatives were
carried out (Table 2). The obtained data show that the wide ranges of
substituted and structurally diverse aldehydes could synthesize the cor-
responding products in high to excellent yields using the mild acidic
ionic liquid as catalyst. Aliphatic aldehyde such as n-heptanal and n-
octanal was intact in this reaction conditions and all starting materials
were observed without any reaction even after 120 min (Table 2, entries
15 and 16).

condensation with aldehyde to generate an alkylidenedimedone (1). On
At first, to find optimal conditions, the solvent-free reaction of benz-
the other hand, the activated β-ketoester (by the catalyst) with liberation
aldehydes (10 mmol), dimedone (10 mmol), ethyl acetoacetate
10 mmol) and ammonium acetate (15 mmol) in the presence of
NMP][H PO ] (10 mol%) as catalyst was selected as a model. The reac-
tion was carried out with different amounts of the catalyst (5, 10, 15,
0 mol%) at room temperature (Table 1). As it was shown from
Table 1, 10 mol% of [NMP][H PO ] as catalyst at room temperature
afforded ethyl 2,7,7-trimethyl-5-oxo-4-phenyl-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-
quinoline-3-carboxylate in 9 min with 92% of yield. Then other ionic liq-

tion to afford intermediate (3). The intermediate (3) is converted to inter-
mediate (4) by tautomerization, and the intermediate (4) affords

intermediate (5) by intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the NH group
to the activated carbonyl group. The mechanism is confirmed by the liter-
atures [1,11,21,27,28]. The recycling of the ILs under solvent-free condi-
tions based on the model reaction has also been investigated. After
completion of the reaction, water was added and the precipitated mixture
