2-Ns-Protected β-amino Weinreb amides were synthesized by aminochlorination of α,β-unsaturated Weinreb amides in an ionic liquid, 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([BMIM][NTf2]). Processed without the use of metal catalysts or the need of an inert gas atmosphere, the presented process can be readily performed as a one-pot synthesis at room temperature. Moreover, ...

The potential of room-temperature molten salts (ionic liquids) as solvents for electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells has been investigated during the last decade. The non-volatility, good solvent properties and high electrochemical stability of ionic liquids make them attractive solvents in contrast to volatile organic solvents. Despite this, the relatively high viscosity of ionic liquids...

a user-friendly and inexpensive ionic liquid-based single-drop microextraction (il-sdme) method was developed to preconcentrate trace amounts of aminophenol isomers (aps) from human urine, hair dye and water samples prior to analysis by high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet spectrophotometry detection (hplc-uv). under optimum conditions (i.e., 3.5 µl of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ...

In recent decades, dependence on fossil fuels resources has shifted into derivation of cellulose based materials to replace the non-renewable resources. Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant feedstock on earth and is one of the promising renewable and sustainable resources. In the present study, simple preparation of nanocellulose particles by using ionic liquid (1-butyl-3methylimidazoli...

Ionic liquid crystals combine the unique solvent properties of ionic liquids with self-organization found for liquid crystals. We report a detailed analysis of the structure-property relationship of a series of new imidazolium-based liquid crystals with an extended aromatic core. Investigated parameters include length and nature of the tails, the length of the rigid core, the lateral substituti...

The Magnetically recoverable Fe3O4 nanoparticle and the supported brønsted acidic ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl) imidazolium hydrogen sulfate (Fe3O4-IL-HSO4) were synthesized and used as efficient magnetic catalysts for the regioselective thiocyanation of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds at room temperature in Water: Ethanol. This procedure provided the target thiocyanat...

Ionic liquids (ILs) are non-molecular solvents; specifically, molten salts with low melting points, often below 100 °C and even room temperature, thus allowing these solvents to remain liquid [...]
