	abstract = {<p>An efficient and eco-friendly synthesis of 2-amino-1,3-selenazoles in ionic liquid/water solvent system is described. The paper describes synthesis of 2-amino-1,3-selenazoles by condensation of various phenacyl bromide with selenourea under ambient conditions in short reaction times. This protocol has notable advantages such as the absence of any added catalyst, simple operation and excellent yields of products and recyclability of the ionic liquid.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>The condensation reaction involving an aldehyde and diketone was efficiently promoted by the Ionic liquid, [Hbim]BF(4) (IL) as a reaction medium with methanol as co-solvent at ambient temperature under ultrasonic irradiation to afford the corresponding 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxantliene (xanthene) derivatives in excellent yields. The advantages of this method include among others the use of a recyclable, non-volatile ionic liquid, which promotes this protocol under ambient temperature without the requirement of ally added catalyst. The reaction times and yields are compared with p-TSA catalyzed synthesis of xanthenes under thermal conditions, which is also reported for the first time under our reaction conditions.
