A series of imidazolium and pyridinium ionic liquids with different anions (Cl(-), Br(-), BF₄(-), PF₆(-)) has been evaluated for their adsorption activity on silica gel. Quantification of the ionic liquids has been performed by the use of RP-HPLC with organic-aqueous eluents containing an acidic buffer and a chaotropic salt. Pseudo-second order kinetic models were applied to the experimental da...

An efficient and convenient procedure for the hydrogen peroxide oxidation of primary alcohols to the carboxylic acids in aqueous media in regulated temperature-dependant; recyclable phase-separation catalytic system comprised of the PEG1000-based dicationic acidic ionic liquid and toluene under homogeneous conditions in good to excellent yield is reported.

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.

An efficient and convenient procedure for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones and thiones by condensation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, Aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, and urea or thiourea in the presence of catalytic amount of Brønsted acidic ionic liquid 3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium chloride {[Msim]Cl} under thermal solvent-free conditions reacted easily to afford the co...

3-methyl-1-(4-sulfobuthyl)-1-H-imidazol-3ium hydrogen sulfate, as a dual acidic ionic liquid (DAIL), was found to be an efficient catalyst for the simple, rapid and green synthesis of substituted trisphenols from the condensation of different substituted phenols and 2,6-bis (methylol) phenols (BMP). DAIL catalyst efficiently promoted the reaction between phenols and BMPs with a variety of funct...

The reaction of ethyl acetoacetate with meta-cresol in an acidic ionic liquid yielded a complex mixture of condensation products. 4,7-Dimethyl-coumarin and the title compound, C(20)H(22)O(3), were isolated. The title compound shows chemical but not crystallographic mirror symmetry. The two aromatic rings are inclined at an angle of 73.55 (6)°.
