Deep eutectic solvent as solvent and catalyst: one-pot synthesis of 1,3-dinitropropanes via tandem Henry reaction/Michael addition

Abstract

The Henry reaction was performed using microwave heating within the deep eutectic solvent (DES) choline chloride/urea (ChCl/urea) which acted as both the catalyst and solvent for the reaction. The optimisation of the conditions (temperature, heating mode, time, DES) allowed 1,3-dinitropropane derivatives to be obtained via tandem Henry reaction/Michael addition, in one step from a range of different aromatic aldehydes in high yields and under mild reaction conditions.
