A series of 2-amino pyridine-3-carbinitrile derivatives incorporated coumarin moiety has developed via multicomponent condensation of 3-acetyl-2H-chromen-2-one, arylaldehydes, malononitrile and ammonium acetate utilizing Brønsted acidic ionic liquid, (4-sulfobutyl)tris(4-sulfophenyl)phosphonium hydrogen sulfate as catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Good yields, short reaction times, straig...

A simple and mild procedure for the conversion of anilines into aryl isocyanates is described using the 3-hydroxypropylammonium acetate (HPAA) ionic liquid as a novel and efficient media has been explored in the synthesis of aryl isocyanates from the reaction of substituted urea with sodium nitrite in a water immiscible solvent. This ionic liquid can be easily recovered and reused for many time...

N1,N1,N2,N2-tetramethyl-N1,N2-bis(sulfo)ethane-1,2-diaminium chloride ([TMBSED][Cl]2) was synthesized as an acidic ionic liquid and characterized using FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy, TG, DTG and DTA techniques. This ionic liquid was employed as efficient catalyst for the extremely facile and efficient synthesis of dihydropyrrol-2-ones and functionalized tetrahydropyridines. One-pot f...

Ionic liquids have shown promise as replacements for water in ionic polymer transducers. Ionic liquids are non-volatile and have a larger electrochemical stability window than water. Therefore, transducers employing ionic liquids can be operated for long periods of time in air and can be actuated with higher voltages. Furthermore, transducers based on ionic liquids do not exhibit the characteri...

A tandem transformation that involves the formation of three bonds and two heterocyclic rings in a one-pot fashion through amino-alkylation of an ionic-liquid-immobilized diamine with keto acids followed by successive double intramolecular cyclizations to afford a tricyclic framework has been explored. This tandem cyclization has been utilized to develop a rapid and efficient method to synthesi...

One of the room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) was chosen to prepare the concentrated solutions of Polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The rheological behaviors of the solutions were measured with rotational rheometry under different conditions, including temperatures, concentration, and molecular weight of PAN. The solutions exhibited shear-thinning beh...

A [P44414][Cl]-NaCl-H2O ionic liquid-based aqueous biphasic system shows promising results for the separation of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) by homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction. The extracting phase consists of a hydrophilic ionic liquid that is salted-out by sodium chloride, indicating that there is no need for using hydrophobic ionic liquids.

In this study, simple ionic liquid-assisted preparation of SnO microflowers with nanosheet subunitsunder reflux condition without calcination were described. Samples were synthesized using 1-pentyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, [pmim]Br, as an ionic liquid in different molar ratio, sodium hydroxideand Tin(II) chloride. The results show that SnO with high purity and uniform size...

Lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive resource for producing transportation fuels, and consequently novel approaches are being sought for transforming the lignin and cellulosic constituents of biomass to fuels or fuel additives. Glucose, the monomer of cellulose, is a good starting material for exploring such chemistries. We report here the results of an investigation aimed at identifying ca...

Alkylation of isobutane and 2-butene was carried out in a continuous unit using triethylamine hydrochloride (Et3NHCl)-aluminum chloride (AlCl3) ionic liquid (IL) as catalyst. The effects of impurities such as water, methanol, and diethyl ether on the stability of the catalytic properties and deactivation of the ionic liquid were studied in the continuous alkylation. In the Et3NHCl-2AlCl3 ionic ...
