A homogeneous ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate doped with LiCl ([BMIm]BF4-LiCl) was found as catalyst solvents for the synthesis of dicoumarols by the condensation of 4-hydroxycoumarin and aldehyde at 80 ˚C. In this field, several types of aromatic aldehyde, containing electron-withdrawing groups as well as electron-donating groups, were rapidly changed to the correspo...

The present work describes, the reaction between disodium salt of 1,3-dihydroxybenzene (in situ formation) and propargyl bromide was carried out in a solid-liquid biphasic phase transfer catalytic system at 50°C. Higher selectivity of the bis-derivative (1,3-bis(prop-2-ynyloxy)benzene) was obtained under solid-liquid PTC condion. The conversion of propargyl bromide of more than 99% was achieved...

Aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) can integrate multiple unit operations and operate under continuous mode, contributing to the development of sustainable separation processes. Encouraged by designer solvent features ionic liquids (ILs), we herein propose their use as components double-stimuli-responsive (temperature- pH-driven) ABS. Resorting choline-alkanoate-based ILs pH-responsive poly(propyle...

A room temperature ionic liquid (IL) composed of a quaternary alkylphosphonium (trihexyltetradecylphosphonium, P66614(+)) and tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate anion (TB(-)) was employed within a water|P66614TB (w|P66614TB or w|IL) biphasic system to evaluate cesium ion extraction in comparison to that with a traditional water|organic solvent (w|o) combination. (137)Cs is a major contributor to...

In this work, the results relating to the mean activity coefficient measurements for ionic liquid of 1- propyl -3 methylimidazolium bromide, [PMIm]Br in ethanol+ water mixtures have been reported using potentiometric measurements at T=( 298.2, 308.2 and 318.2)K. The electromotive force (emf) measurements were performed on the galvanic cell of the type:Br-ISE│[PrMIm] (m) ethanol (wt.%), H2O (1−w...

1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolinium hydroxide ionic liquid (BMIm[OH]) is loaded on commercial low surface area Pd-Ag/α-Al2O3 solid ‎catalyst to enhance higher selectivity of acetylene partial hydrogenation. Different experimental techniques such as atomic absorption spectroscopy, surface area measurement and gas chromatography have been utilized to characterize chemical, structural and catalytic pro...

It is shown that rare earths can be distributed between two immiscible ionic liquids, allowing the transfer of the rare earths from one ionic liquid phase to another. The ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride was used as the initial feed phase and the ionic liquid trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium bis(2,4,4trimethylpentyl)phosphinate (Cyphos IL 104) as the extracting phase. The rare e...

The extraction behavior of neodymium and other rare earths from nitric acid media by the functionalized ionic liquid trioctylmethylammonium dioctyl diglycolamate, [A336][DGA], was investigated. The nonfluorinated ionic liquid trioctylmethylammonium nitrate, [A336][NO3], was used as diluent. The extraction behavior of neodymium(III) in this ionic liquid solution was carried out as a function of ...
