The hydration of propargylic alcohols is a green route to synthesize α-hydroxy ketones. Herein a CO<sub>2</sub>-reactive ionic liquid (IL), [Bu<sub>4</sub>P][Im], was found to display high performance for catalyzing the hydration of propargylic alcohols in the presence of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub>, and a series of propargylic alcohols could be converted into the corresponding α-hydroxy ketones in good to excellent yields. In the IL/CO<sub>2</sub> reaction system, CO<sub>2</sub> served as a coca ...[more]
