Abstract

Cross benzoin condensation using room temperature ionic liquids, namely 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([Bmim][Br]), acted as catalyzed and a solvent under NaOH base condition to afford desired cross-benzoin products 4a-i in satistactory yields (60-70%.) Homo-benzoin condensation 5a-d and 6a also were occurred as side reactions in 9-18% yields.
