Rapid and efficient method for the synthesis of substituted olefins such as 2-(4-chlorophenylmethylene) malononitrile, 2-(4-hydroxyphenylmethylene) malononitrile and 2-cyano-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acrylamide etc under the influence of microwave irradiation are described. Urea has been utilized as an efficient catalyst for the Knoevenagel condensation of aldehydes with acidic active methylene compounds such as malononitrile, ethylcyanoacetate and cyanoacetamide to afford substituted olefins under the influence of microwave irradiation. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild and solvent free conditions and the products are obtained in good yield. The method is applicable for a wide range of aldehydes including aromatic and heterocyclic substrates. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res.55(2), 159-164, 2020

A novel ionic-liquid-supported 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (IL–TBD) was synthesized and investigated for its ability to act as an active organocatalyst in the Michael addition of active methylene compounds and thiophenols to chalcones under solvent-free conditions. The IL–TBD afforded Michael addition products in excellent yields (82%–94%) at room temperature, and it was simply recycled and reused at least five times without significant loss of catalytic activity.
