The ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate, [bmim]HSO4, efficiently catalyzes Paal-Knorr furan synthesis without any organic solvent. A wide range of aliphatic and aromatic 1,4-diketones easily undergo condensations to form furan derivatives, providing a general and convenient procedure. The Paal-Knorr reaction of ester-substituted 1,4-diketones is first reported. The ionic liquid can be recovered and reused for subsequent runs without any appreciable loss of efficiency.
