Highly efficient protocol for one-pot N-alkylation of nucleobases using alcohol in ionic liquid media as a straightforward route to access acyclic nucleoside was described. In this protocol purine, pyrimidine as well as azole derivatives underwent the N-alkylation reaction with primary or secondary alcohols using TsCl/TEA/K2CO3 in bmim[Br] to afford the products in good-to-excellent yields. The influence of factors in this method including the type of ionic liquid, base and sulfonating agents was discussed. The current method showed an appropriate selectivity in reaction with primary alcohols in comparison with secondary alcohols. This protocol is mild, safe and easy to apply; moreover, it is quite compatible with eco-friendly and green chemistry protocols, since the exploitation of toxic and hazardous materials such as DMF and alkyl halides has been prevented.
