Previously we have performed the reaction of
biogenic (2-hydroxyethyl)amines with the biologically
active arylheteroacetic acids to give the solid salts,
which have a structure of the protic ionic liquids Ar
(Het)XCH2COO–·HN+Rn(CH2CH2OH)3–n; X = O, S,
SO2; n = 0–2. They are the pharmacologically active
substances of low toxicity (LD50 1300–6000 mg kg–1)
possessing anti-aggregatory, membrane stabilizing,
anti-sclerotic, immunomodulatory, antitumor, adapto-
genic, and other activities [1–7].
1,1-Dimethylhydrazinium 2-methylphenoxyacetate
(I). To an alcohol solution of 1.662 g (0.01 mol) of 2-
СН3C6H4OCH2COOH was added dropwise 0.601 g
(0.01 mol) of dimethylhydrazine while stirring and
heating at 45°C for 15 min. The solvent was distilled
off. The oily residue was washed several times with
diethyl ether and dried in a high vacuum. Yield 2.20 g
(97%). IR spectrum, ν, cm–1: 1591 (С=О), 2521–2796
(N+H), 3158, 3308 (NН2). 1Н NMR spectrum, δН, ppm:
7.11–6.77 m (4Н, Ph), 4.54 s (2Н, PhОСН2), 3.32 s
(2Н, NН2), 2.87 s (6Н, NМе2). 13С NMR spectrum, δС,
ppm: 174.05 (С=О), 130.337–111.10 (Ph), 66.32
(PhОСН2), 46.06 (NМе2), 15.17 (PhСН3). 15N NMR
spectrum, δС, ppm: –257.5 (NМе2), –286.0 (NH2).
In order to obtain the new biologically active ionic
liquids we carried out the reaction of arylheteroacetic
acids with 1,1-dimethylhydrazine.

→ [Me2N+Н–NH2]·O–(O)CCH2XR,
1,1-Dimethylhydrazinium 4-chlorophenylsulfanyl-
acetate (II) was obtained similarly from 4-СlC6H4·
SCH2COOH and dimethylhydrazine. Yield 91%. IR
spectrum, ν, cm–1: 1574 (С=О), 2518–2741 (N+H),
Х = О, R = 2-СН3C6H4 (I); Х = S, R = 4-ClC6H4 (II); Х =
SO2, R = 4-ClC6H4 (III); Х = S, R = Ind (IV).
Compounds I–IV are viscous liquids, very well
soluble in water and poorly soluble in ether and al-
cohols. The structure of the obtained compounds was

7.38 m (4Н, Ph), 3.40 s (2Н, SСН2), 3.22 t (2Н, NН2),
2.79 s (6Н, NMe2). 13С NMR spectrum, δС, ppm:

confirmed by the NMR Н, 13С, 15N and IR spec-
troscopy methods.
The selection of dimethylhydrazine (a tonnage
toxic component of rocket fuel) was underlain by the
fact that its quaternization involving Me2N group [8, 9]
results in non-hazardous compounds with high
antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-cardiotropic acti-
vities, comparable with the effect of pharmaceuticals
[10, 11]. The combination of arylheteroacetic acids
and dimethylhydrazine properties in one molecule
offers great opportunities for further investigation of
the synthesized ionic liquids.
1,1-Dimethylhydrazinium 4-chlorophenylsulfonyl-
acetate (III) was obtained similarly from 4-ClC6H4·
SO2CH2COOH and dimethylhydrazine. Yield 92%. IR
