DIPEAc (diisopropylethylammonium acetate) has been used as a catalyst in the Knoevenagel condensation of aldehydes and ethyl cyanoacetate to produce cyanoacrylate with high yields. The reaction's key characteristics are a shorter reaction time, a large substrate scope, the viability of different functional groups, ease of work-up, and high yields, which provide environmental benefits. Furthermore, the anticancer activity of the synthesized series of cyanoacrylate derivatives was tested against A549, HT-29, and HepG2 cell lines.
