We developed a synthesis of chiral ionic liquids from proline and one of its derivatives. Nine chiral ionic liquids were synthesized with yields from 78% to 95%. These synthesized ionic liquids played two roles in Michael reactions, as solvents, and as basic catalysts, where the ionic phase could also be reused at least five times without loss of activity. The yields up to 99% were improved by increasing the amount of dimethylmalonate from 1.2 equivalents to 3 or 4 equivalents. Furthermore, the reaction time could be reduced from 24 h to 45 min through microwaves activation.

<p>While N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have proven highly effective in various polymerization reactions, the drawback is their high sensitivity towards air and water, which necessitates handling under rigorously anhydrous conditions. In this report, an air-stable two-component NHC photogenerator ─ 2-isopropylthioxanthone (ITX) as photosensitive species and 1,3-bis(mesityl)imidazolium tetraphenylborate (IMesH<sup>+</sup> BPh<sub>4</sub><sup>-</sup>) acting as NHC protected precursor ─ has been utilized to organocatalyze thiol-Michael reaction for small molecule and polymer synthesis. The feasibility of photoNHC catalysis in addition reactions involving thiol and ene molecules was investigated using <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectroscopy. The synthesis of cross-linked polythioether polymer via a step-growth polymerization was then studied using FTIR spectroscopy, optical pyrometry and gel content measurements.<b></b></p>

Aim and Objective: The direct β-functionalization of trans-β-nitroolefins by Michael reaction is regarded as an efficient way to provide precursors for β-functional amines. However, Michael additions by grinding means with solvent-free conditons are rarely reported. We have developed facile access to β-functional nitroalkanes by grinding means under solvent-free conditions. Materials and Methods: From commercially available materials including ethyl 2-nitroacetate, alkyl 2-cyanoacetates and malononitrile, the grinding reactions between these above-mentioned activated methylenecompounds and various trans-β-nitroolefins were performed at room temperature and solvent-free conditions. Results: A highly efficient direct Michael reaction of nitroolefins by simple grinding means has been developed. Various trans-nitrostyrenes were easily converted into corresponding β-functional nitroalkanes in excellent yields within 5~10 min (up to 36 examples). Conclusion: Herein, we have developed a simple and efficient way to β-functional nitroalkanes through Michael reactions by grinding means. The grinding Michael reaction is fast, clean and stable and these Michael adducts could be easily converted into the other amino compounds served as building blocks in organic synthesis.

A novel photocatalytic decarboxylative radical conjugate addition-elimination-oxa-Michael reaction of hydroxyalkylated carboxylic acids with cyclopentenones has been developed to construct diverse cyclopentanonyl-fused functionalized cyclic ether derivatives in the presence of an inexpensive organic photocatalyst. The stereoselective synthetic strategy is amenable to substructural variation, establishing a direct total synthetic route to two diastereomers of C3-Amino cyclopentyltetrahydrofuranyl-derived potent HIV-1 protease inhibitors with low nanomolar IC 50 values.
