Abstract
The development of greener methodologies is an important field in the framework of green chemistry. In this research study, N,N-dimethylbenzimidazolium iodide in NaOH was developed as an efficient catalyst for intermolecular stetter reaction in the greenest solvent (water) to afford the desired 1,4-addition products in good yields of 58-77%. Moreover, the benzimidazolium salt catalyst and NaOH mixture can be reused for at least 4 additional reactions with a consistent yield of 65%.
