Abstract Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were used as environmentally benign and straightforward replacements for the harmful organic solvents and transition metal-based catalysts in various organic syntheses. Here, we report a DES as a mild, biocompatible, and environmentally friendly dual solvent/catalyst for the one-pot construction of 2-amino-5-alkylidenethiazol-4-ones throw one-pot reaction of carbonyl compounds, nitrogen compounds, and rhodanine up to quantitative yields within a latent period of times. This green procedure has a more diverse and broader scope regarding starting materials and exhibits excellent conversion and high selectivity. In particular, DES displays better durability and reusability in the multicomponent reactions than traditional catalysts and solvents without distinct deterioration in catalytic activity.
