Basic Ionic Liquid [bmIm]OH–Mediated Gewald Reaction as Green Protocol for the Synthesis of 2-Aminothiophenes

<div><p></p><p>A simple, efficient, and environmental friendly procedure was developed based on the Gewald reaction for the synthesis of 2-aminothiophenes using a basic ionic liquid [bmIm]OH as both catalyst and solvent. Besides being a green protocol, the method offers advantages of successful synthesis of a variety of alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, and alkylamino-2-aminothiophenes in good yields.</p> </div
