Design and synthesis of bistereogenic chiral ionic liquids and their use as solvents for asymmetric Baylis-Hillman reactions.
Three novel chiral ionic liquids (CILs) containing two chiral centers in the side chain bonded to the 2-position of the imidazolium cation and different anions have been synthesized, characterized and used as chiral solvents for asymmetric Baylis-Hillman (BH) reactions; good yields and fair enantioselectivities were obtained.
