Nitrophenols can be obtained in high yields via nitrosation-oxidation of phenols by 3methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium chloride f[Msim]Clg as a new Br nsted acidic ionic liquid and NaNO2 at room temperature. In situ generation of HNO2 and a radical-cation mechanism via the nitrous acid catalyzed pathway appear to be applicable to phenol nitration using this reagent system.

Molten salts which are ionic (i.e. a mixture of cation and anion) in nature and have a melting point below 100 °C are termed as Ionic liquids (ILs). [1] Preferably salts which are liquid at room temperature are called room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). ILs have received great attention in the last couple of decades due to their unique properties such as low va‐ pour pressure, high thermal ...

Various metal nanoparticles including base metal were produced by a brief accelerated electron beam irradiation of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide room-temperature ionic liquid without a stabilizing agent, which is usually employed so as to prevent aggregation.

The first bimagnetic ionic liquid based on Fe and TEMPO with cooperative functionalities not only exhibited strong paramagnetic behaviour at room temperature under an applied magnetic field of 5000 Oe but also proved to be an effective catalyst for selective aerobic oxidation of aromatic alcohols under mild and clean conditions.

The ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylselenite, [bmim][SeO2(OCH3)], was successfully used as solvent in the catalyst-free preparation of 3-arylselenylindoles by the reaction of indole with ArSeCl at room temperature. The products were obtained selectively in good yields without the need of any additive and the solvent was easily reused for several cycles with good results.

Succinimidinium hydrogensulfate ([H-Suc]HSO4), as a new and stable derivative of succinimide, is easily prepared by the reaction of succinimide with neat sulfuric acid. This ionic liquid can be used as an efficient catalyst for the acetylation of alcohols, phenols, thiols and amines at room temperature under mild and solvent free conditions. All the products are separated and identified using d...

A simple, efficient, and green practical approach to Knoevenagel condensation of malononitrile and different aldehydes has been developed using an ionic liquid functionalized on Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles as heterogeneous catalyst. This nanostructural catalyst has also been applied for the synthesis of 4H-benzo[b]pyran derivatives in water at room temperature in short reaction time. All of th...

A facile, green, and efficient method for the direct oxidative amination of benzoxazoles using heterocyclic ionic liquid as catalyst has been developed. The reaction proceeded smoothly at room temperature and gave the desirable 2-aminobenzoxazoles with good to excellent yields (up to 97%). The catalyst 1-butylpyridinium iodide can be easily recycled and reused with similar efficacies for at lea...

Glycosylation in room temperature ionic liquid is demonstrated using unprotected and unactivated donors. Modest yields of simple benzyl glycosides and disaccharides of glucose, mannose and N-acetylgalactosamine were obtained in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium benzoate with Amberlite IR-120 (H(+)) resin or p-toluenesulfonic acid as promoters.
