Ionic liquids as powerful solvent media for improving catalytic performance of silyl borate catalyst to promote Diels-Alder reactions.
Use of the acidic chloroaluminate ionic liquid, including the recycled ones, can improve the catalytic activity of the toluene-coordinated silyl borate in enhancing rates, stereoselectivities, and yields of Diels-Alder reactions.
