TL;DR: Three series of N-arylquinoline derivatives were synthesized by the three-component reactions of arylaldehyde, 3-arylamino-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enone, and active methylene compounds including malononitrile, meldrum's acid, and 1,3-indenedione in ionic liquid [bmim+][BF4−] at 90°C as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a clean and simple synthesis of benzo[c]acridine and quinoline derivatives was achieved via the reaction of Schiff base with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in aqueous medium catalyzed by TEBA.

TL;DR: In this paper, a clean and simple synthesis of one-donor poly-acceptors systems containing 2,6-dicyanoamine moiety was accomplished via the reaction of 1-arylethylidenemalonodinitriles with arylidenmalonodinriles in aqueous media catalyzed by TEBAC in the presence of K2CO3.

TL;DR: Improved and green syntheses of 9,10-diarylacridine-1,8-dione and indenoquinoline derivatives were achieved by the reactions of 3-anilino-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enones, benzaldehydes, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the ionic liquid medium as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the selectivity of the reactions of aromatic aldehydes and 2-aminobenzamide in ionic liquid catalyzed by iodine at either room temperature or at 80°C under nitrogen was controlled.
