Hyperbranched polymeric ionic liquids with onion-like topology as transporters and compartmentalized systems

A new family of hyperbranched polymeric ionic liquids ("hyperILs" ) with onion-like topology and facile polarity design were tailored as transporters and compartmentalized systems. Applications include transport and dispersion of water-soluble dyes and functionalized graphene nanosheets from aqueous phase into nonpolar fluids, including polymer melts.

Solvent-free and selective tosylation of alcohols and phenols with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride by heteropolyacids as highly efficient catalysts

Tosylation of some alcohols and phenols has been directly carried out with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride using heterodoxy acids (H3PW 12O40, H3PMo12O40, A 3PW12O40, and AlPMo12O40) as catalysts in the absence of solvent. We found that heteropoly acids AlPW12O40 and AlPMo 12O40 were effective catalysts for the tosylation of alcohols and phenols. In the case of aliphatic alcohols, secondary alcohols undergo tosylation chemoselectively in the presence of primary hydroxyl groups. This new method consistently has the advantage of excellent yields and short reaction time.
