Compare with conventional multi-step preparation processes, multi-component reactions represent elegant advantages such as convergence nature, facile automation, simplicity of operational protocols, reduce the number of work-up steps, minimizing waste production, and rendering the transformations based on green chemistry metrics [1-2]. On the other hands, ionic liquids represent unique features including excellent thermal and chemical stability, high electrochemical properties, good solubility, excellent potent of recyclability [3]. In this exploration, we combined the elegant characteristic of multicomponent reaction process and ionic liquids to present a facile synthetic routs for the preparation of 2-oxo-4,6-diphenyl-1,2- dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile derivatives under mild reaction conditions
