Inexpensive protic ionic liquids, synthesized from di- or triamines and excess sulfuric acid, were used as solvents catalysts for the Beckmann rearrangement. The use of liquids in place oleum acid allowed base neutralization step, which is required conventional rearrangement, to be entirely avoided, thereby dramatically improving atom economy. Using a biphasic water/organic solvent extraction s...

The effect of temperature on the phase behavior of a polycation-anionic/nonionic mixed micelle system, poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride)-sodium dodecylsulfate/Triton X-100, was studied over a wide range of surfactant compositions, ionic strengths, and polycation molecular weights using turbidimetry and dynamic light scattering. Soluble complexes become biphasic upon heating through either ...

A NiCl(2)-6H(2)O/Zn reagent with a 2-aryliminomethylpyridine ligand catalyzed cyclization/polymerization of 1,6-diynes to yield mainly the corresponding poly(1,3-butadienylene) compounds, whereas NiBr(2)-3H(2)O/Zn with the use of 3-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-ethyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium bromide as a ligand converted 1,6-diynes to the corresponding annulated 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraenes in a biphas...

Proteins are one the most widely studied biomolecules with diverse functions and applications. Aiming at overcoming current drawbacks of purification processes proteins, introduction ionic liquids (ILs) has been a hot topic research. ILs have applied in creation aqueous biphasic systems (IL-based ABS), solid-phase extractions through poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) supported ionic-liquid phases (SIL...

The present study aims at evaluating the capability of phosphate-based salts, whose anions can coexist in water depending on the media pH, to promote aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) formation with 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids, as well as to infer on the influence of the ionic liquid anion in the overall process of liquid–liquid demixing. In this context, novel phase diagrams of...

Liquid-liquid equilibria for the (water + lactic acid + benzyl alcohol or p-xylene) ternary systems were investigated at atmospheric pressure and in the temperature range from 298.15-318.15 K. The studied systems exhibit two types of liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) behavior. The system consisting of benzyl alcohol displays type-1 LLE behavior, while a type-2 behavior is exhibited by th...
