Abstract
Solvent-freeN-alkylation of phthalimide with alkyl halides catalyzed by basic ionic liquids was developed in this conmmunication. With a comparative study, [Bmim]OH (1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium hydroxide) exhibited the highest catalytic activity among the selected basic ionic liquids, which afforded a convenient, efficient and general protocol forN-alkyl phthalimides exclusively.
