Popis: The Knoevenagel condensation between active methylene compounds and aromatic carobonyl compounds has been developed using quinine as an organocatalyst to afford various electrophilic alkenes in excellent yields (up to 90%). In the presence of a catalytic amount of quinine (15 mol%), the reaction proceeded at room temperature (RT) under solvent-free conditions. In this green approach, the organocatalyst was recovered and recycled for up to four cycles without appreciable loss of activity.
