23. Procedure for the Knoevenagel reaction of benzaldehyde with malononitrile. A mixture of benzaldehyde (67 mg), malononitrile (1.0 eq.) and glycine (0.2 eq.) in ionic liquid (1 g) was stirred in a closed round-bottomed flask until completion of the reaction as indicated by TLC (Hexane:AcOEt = 80:20). The reaction mixture was then extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 2 mL), and the pooled organic extract was concentrated under vacuum, affording either a pure solid (entry 4 in Table 1) or a viscous oil (entries 1-3) that was purified by column chromatography on silica gel. The ionic liquids were dried by stirring under high vacuum for 24 h before use.
