A highly efficient and simple method for the preparation of α,α´-bis(arylidene)cycloalkanones under solvent-free conditions has been developed. The crossed-aldol condensation of cycloalkanones (1 eq.) with arylaldehydes (2 eq.) in the presence of 2.5 mol% of ionic liquid 1,3-disulfonic acid imidazolium hydrogen sulfate {[Dsim]HSO4} afforded the title compounds in high yields and short reaction ...

In the solvent extraction of metal cations into ionic liquids, use of Brønsted acid-type chelate extractants has some advantages including simplicity in controlling extraction selectivity by selecting suitable aqueous phase pH values and simple back-extraction recovery of the extracted metals using acid solutions. In this review, various fundamental and applied research on metal extraction usin...

A simple highly versatile and efficient synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles is achieved by three component cyclocondensation of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, aldehydes and ammonium acetate as ammonia source in thermal solvent free condition using Brønsted acidic ionic liquid diethyl ammonium hydrogen phosphate as catalyst. The key advantages of this process are cost effectiveness of cataly...

Novel multi-SO3H functionalized strong Brønsted acidic ionic liquid coated magnetite nanoparticles have been prepared and applied as catalyst for the synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles. The results showed that a novel catalyst was very efficient for the reaction and could be magnetically separated and reused at least 6 times with less reduction in its catalytic activity. Operational s...

Morpholinium hydrogen Sulphate as Brønsted acidic ionic liquid was used as an efficient and reusable catalyst for the onepot synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles that achieved by three component cyclocondensation of 1,2-dicarbonyl compound, aromatic or aliphatic aldehyde and ammonium acetate under thermal solvent-free conditions. The key advantages of this process are cost effectiveness...

bifunctional acidic ionic liquids, having both h-imidazolium and -so3h groups as cation moieties (h-bfails) and cf3so3- as anion, were synthesized in high yields. these h-bfails showed significant hydrophilic properties, lower acidity and higher thermal stability relative to common ionic liquids, due to their unique structures. the (propyl or butyl-3-sulfonic) imidazolium trifluoromethane sulfo...

Since Forbes and Davis reported the design of a class of phosphoniumand imidazolium ion-based ionic liquids (e.g. 1, Fig. 1A) equipped with a pendant acidic sulfonic acid moiety, interest in Brønsted acidic ionic liquids (BAILs) has gathered considerable pace. These materials afford the practitioner the flexibility of a system which combines strong acidity with the traditional advantages associ...
