A new recyclable basic ionic liquid was introduced as an efficient catalyst for aldol condensation and transesterification reactions under environmentally friendly conditions. The catalyst was prepared based on methyl imidazolium moieties bearing hydroxide counter anions via the Hofmann elimination on a 1,3,5-triazine framework. The ionic liquid with two functionalities including anion stabilizer and high basicity, was used as an efficient catalyst for aldol condensation as well as transesterification reaction of a variety of alkyl benzoates. All reactions were performed in the absence of any external reagent, co-catalyst, or solvent, in line with environmental protection. The kinetics isotope effect (KIE) was conducted for the transesterification reaction to elucidate the mechanism and rate determining step (RDS). It worth noted that, the homogeneous catalyst could be recycled from the reaction mixture and reused for several consecutive runs with insignificant drop of basicity and conversion.

A series of novel arylidene derivatives of 5,6-dihydro-4H-cyclopenta[b]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid and 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid were synthesized by reacting benzylidene derivatives of chloro aldehyde with 2-mercaptoacetic acid. Benzylidene derivatives of chloro aldehyde were prepared from Vilsmeier reaction of 2-benzylidenecyclopentanone and 2-benzylidenecyclohexanone derivatives, obtained from condensation of various aromatic aldehydes with cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone. All synthesized compounds were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR), and mass spectroscopy and X-ray single-crystal analysis. The synthesized compounds were screened for their in?vitro antimicrobial and antifungal activity. Good antimicrobial activity, especially against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, was observed for most of the compounds tested. In particular, compound 9f emerged as an effective antibacterial agent and may be a potential candidate for future drug discovery and development.

An efficient and room-temperature procedure is developed for high yield synthesis of novel α,β-unsaturated derivatives of thiopyran 3 directly from ketone 1 and various aldehydes in the presence of catalytic quantities of TMSNMe2 and MgBr2OEt2 under solvent-free conditions. The main advantage of the procedure is that the formation of the undesired bis by-products is minimized. In addition, the procedure is applicable to other enolizable carbocyclic and acyclic ketones.
