| This investigation will involve the synthesis of several ionic liquids containing the 1-alkyl-3-methyl-imidazolium cation coupled to various anion systems. These ionic liquids can be substituted for typical organic solvents and used for the preparation of different polar compounds, which include: alkyl halides, diazo coupled compounds, ketones, etc. There are many advantages for using these ionic liquids over organic solvents in organic reactions. Ionic liquids are recyclable, they can stabilize intermediates better then traditional solvents and the product yield is much higher. The ionic liquids can also be used for synthesis at lower temperatures and are a less toxic alternative to typical organic solvents. |
