The amide groups present in this new series of DBimILs are expected to form hydrogen bonding with the carboxylic acids and this could facilitate the esterification reactions under mild conditions devoid of any added catalyst or organic solvent. The plausible mechanism for the enhanced catalytic activity in presence of this new series of ILs has been proposed. The corresponding alkyl/allyl/aryl esters isolated from this reaction were of high purity after simple extraction, which wipe out the necessity for further purification. This protocol addresses clean methodology and the efficient recyclability as well as reusability of the catalyst. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
