Abstract

Dimethylurea/citric acid deep eutectic solvent was used as a dual catalyst and a green reaction medium for the efficient synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes, quinolines and aryl-4, 5-diphenyl-1H-imidazoles. Ease of recovery and reusability of DES with high activity makes this method efficient and eco-friendly.

A new method for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes, quinolines and aryl-4, 5-diphenyl-1H-Imidazole in the presence of dimethylurea/citric acid deep eutectic solvent (DES) as an efficient, low cost and homogeneous catalytic medium is described.
