Abstract

The catalyst system that comprises an air-stable bifunctional Lewis acidic/basic organobismuth complex and [Bmim]BF4 is highly efficient in the cross-condensation of aldehydes with ketones. Through switching the reaction from homogeneous to heterogeneous, the system shows facile separation ability and facile reusability.
