A simple, efficient, and green protocol for Knoevenagel condensation of Meldrum's acid and aldehydes in ionic liquid at room temperature without any catalyst is described. The reaction has been performed in different ionic liquids. The enhancement in the rate is observed in Brönsted acidic ionic liquid 1‐methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate [Hmim]Tfa, which furnishes quantitative yields with 4–30 min in most of the cases. Furthermore, ionic liquid is easily reused without any appreciable loss in activity.
