Chitosan/ionic liquid forms a renewable and reusable catalyst system used for the synthesis of highly functionalized spiro derivatives

Abstract

Chitosan, a reusable heterogeneous catalyst, can be combined with an ionic liquid as a green solvent to generate a highly efficient catalyst system for our densely functionalised and diversified target molecule. The reaction is completed with a good to excellent yield. This procedure demonstrates an eco-friendly catalyst system and eliminates the use of toxic transition metal catalysts, bases and volatile organic solvents, which adversely affect the environment and human beings.
