Abstract
Abstract N2-Methyl- or aryl-substituted 2-amino-4-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline-3-carbonitriles were synthesized via a four-component, one-pot reaction of aromatic aldehyde, cyclohexanone, malononitrile, and amines in basic ionic liquid [bmim]OH with good to excellent yields. During this transformation, at least 11 bonds were cleaved and 7 new bonds were constructed.
