Abstract
Ionic liquid [bmim]BF4 has been demonstrated to be an efficient and environmentally friendly reaction medium as well as reaction promoter for the synthesis of O-acetyl cyanohydrin via one-pot condensation of aldehyde, TMSCN, and Ac2O without Lewis acid or any special activation. In addition, the recovered ionic liquid could be reused for subsequent runs without the loss of activity.
