These neutral ionic liquids were investigated for their dual role as the solvent and promoter for the selective synthesis of a series of N-monomethylanilines using dimethylcarbonate as the methylating agent. A solvent free green procedure was developed. Reaction conditions were mild and the product recovery was simple. Excellent selectivity for N-monomethylation, the high yield of the product and recyclability of the ionic liquids are some of the promising features of this protocol.}, number={1}, journal={Iranian Journal of Catalysis}, publisher={OICC Press}, author={Das, Pranab Jyoti and Das, Dimpee}, year={2024}, month={Feb.}, keywords={Dimethylcarbonate, Pyridinium ionic liquids, Anilines, N-monomethylanilines, Solvent-free reaction} }
