An investigation of the catalytic potential of potassium cyanide and imidazolium salts for ultrasound-assisted synthesis of benzoin derivatives
A rapid, highly efficient and mild green synthesis of benzoin was performed using substituted benzaldehyde catalyzed by KCN and imidazolium salts in EtOH/H2O under ultrasonic activation. The products were obtained in good yields within short reaction times with N,N′-dialkylimidazolium salts, which w...
