A facile route to C2-substituted imidazolium ionic liquids. Molecules (Basel, Switzerland) [Molecules] Journal article | | Title | A facile route to C2-substituted imidazolium ionic liquids. | | Author(s) | Ennis E, Handy ST | | Institution | Department of Chemistry, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN 37132, USA. | | Source | Molecules 2009; 14(6):2235-45. | | Abstract | A convenient route for the preparation of C2-substituted imidazolium ionic liquids is reported. This method involves the alkylation of N-heterocyclic carbenes, which are readily generated from the C2-unsubstituted imidazolium ionic liquids. It works well for non-functionalized alkyl chlorides, and less well for alkyl bromides and iodides, likely due to competing elimination reactions. The resulting C2-substituted salts can be transformed into ionic liquids via standard anion metathesis reactions. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
