Abstract

The first use of a pyrrolidinium-based Brønsted acidic ionic liquid, 1-methyl-1-sulfopyrrolidinium chloride (MSP-Cl), as a highly efficient catalyst for the synthesis of thiosemicarbazones is reported. The catalyst was prepared in a single step from N-methylpyrrolidine and chlorosulfonic acid in toluene and fully characterized by NMR, IR, and ESI-MS. At a loading of 0.04 mol %, it promoted the condensation of various alde­hydes with thiosemicarbazides under mild conditions (25–35°C) to afford the corresponding thiosemi­carbazones in 94–97% yields within 90 min. Compared with reported systems, MSP-Cl offered shorter reaction times, higher yields, and cleaner reactions under ambient conditions. The process is metal-free, operationally simple, and environmentally benign. A plausible ionic activation mechanism is proposed.
