	abstract = {<p>A highly efficient one-pot methodology has been developed to synthesize a class of substituted 1-pyridylimidazo[ 1,5-a]pyridines, using Bronsted acidic ionic liquid 1-butylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [Hbim]BF4 in excellent isolated yields in the absence of any catalyst. The methodology is characterized by simple work-up procedures along with efficient recovery and recycling of the ionic liquid, which acts as a reaction medium as well as a promoter.</p>},
