Solvent-free aza-Markovnikov and aza-Michael additions promoted by a catalytic amount of imidazolide basic ionic liquids

Imidazolide ionic liquids were synthesized and characterized. High yields of aza-Markovnikov and aza-Michael additions were achieved while 2 mol % of imidazolide ionic liquid was used as catalyst at room temperature without the utilization of any organic solvent.
