A new protocol is developed for the synthesis of N-substituted thioamides, employing arenes and isothiocyanates in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloroaluminate ionic liquid, [bmim]Cl·2AlCl3, as a homogenous Lewis acid catalyst and solvent. The effect of Lewis acidity and the stoichiometry of the ionic liquid on the extent of product formation is studied. Studies reveal that a progressive increase in yields was observed with increasing Lewis acidity, and two equivalents of [bmim]Cl·2AlCl3 was the optimal amount for the reaction. A distinct para selectivity for the incoming thioamido group on activated arenes was observed under ambient conditions.Key words: arenes, isothiocyanates, Friedel–Crafts, ionic liquids, thioamides.

Ytterbium(III) triflate has been utilized as a mild Lewis-acid catalyst for the synthesis of various calix[4]pyrroles by the condensation of pyrrole with different ketones in ionic liquids. The calix[4]pyrroles were obtained in high yield under ecofriendly, economical, and noncorrosive conditions, and the catalyst was recovered and recycled.Key words: calix[4]pyrrole, ionic liquid, ytterbium triflate.

1- n-butylpyridinium chloroaluminate serves the dual purpose of a reaction medium and a Lewis acid catalyst for condensation of substituted benzaldehydes with N, N-dimethylaniline to obtain triarylmethanes (leuco bases) in good yields with significant reduction in reaction time and simplification of the workup process.

An easily accessible ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF6]) was synthesized, and characterized using 1H and 13C NMR, and MS. The ionic liquid was demonstrated to be an efficient green solvent for the synthesis of pravadoline, one of non-steroidal drugs. High yield was achieved without the presence of an anhydrous Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction was also successfully carried out using other imidazolium-based ionic liquids, including 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([HMIM][PF6]), and 1-octyl-3- methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([OMIM][PF6]). To our best knowledge, this is the first report in Viet Nam on the synthesis of a pharmaceutical chemical in ionic liquids as green solvents.
