Abstract:

An environmentally benign procedure for the synthesis of vicinal nitrohydrins via the regioselective ring opening reaction of epoxides with nitrite anion using silica-bound 3-{2-[poly(ethylene glycol)]ethyl}-substituted 1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium bromide as an effective heterogeneous phase transfer catalyst was described. Short reaction time, high yield of products, simple work-up procedure, and recyclability of the catalyst were some of the striking features of the present protocol. The recovered catalyst could be reused five times without any loss in its catalytic activity and selectivity.

An Effective Green Procedure for the Synthesis of Phenacyl Derivatives Catalyzed by Silica-bound 3-{2-[Poly(ethylene glycol)]ethyl}-substituted 1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium Bromide as a Recyclable Phase Transfer Catalyst under Aqueous Media

The use of a recyclable phase transfer catalyst, SiO2-PEG-ImBr, is demonstrated in a simple and highly efficient synthesis of phenacyl derivatives by nucleophilic substitution reaction of phenacyl halides with different anions in water. Advantages of this system are easy work-up, moderate to good yields, and recyclable catalyst. The catalyst can be recycled and reused several times with no loss...

3-(2-Bromo­benz­yl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium bromide

In the title compound, C(11)H(12)BrN(2) (+)·Br(-), the imidazole and phenyl rings are nearly perpendicular, making a dihedral angle of 87.71 (7)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by non-classical inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and inversion-related mol-ecules are linked through π-π inter-actions between the imidazole ring systems [centroid-centroid distance = 3.472 (6) Å].

Crystal structures of the two salts 2-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium nitrate–2-methyl-1H-imidazole (1/1) and 2-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium nitrate

The title salts, C4H7N2 (+)·NO3 (-)·C4H6N2, (I), and C4H7N2 (+)·NO3 (-), (II), were obtained from solutions containing 2-methyl-imidazole and nitric acid in different concentrations. In the crystal structure of salt (I), one of the -NH H atoms of the imidazole ring shows half-occupancy, hence only every second mol-ecule is in its cationic form. The nitrate anion in this structure lies on a twof...
