Silver-free synthesis of nitrate-containing room-temperature ionic liquids

Nitrate-containing 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquids, [C n-mim]NO3, where n = 4, 6, 8, 12, are synthesized in one step by reacting 1-methylimidazole with alkyl nitrates under various conditions without using AgNO3 and 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium halides.

DECOMPOSITION OF DIOXIRANES INDUCED BY DIALKYL ETHERS

Simple dialkyl ethers (i.e. diethyl or dihexyl ether), in addition to undergo oxidative cleavage by reaction with methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane or dimethyldioxirane, induce the decomposition of these oxidation reagents in a concentration dependent manner.The identification of compounds derived from reactions with species such as CH3. or CF3CO2. suggests that the above decomposition is a radical chain process.Key words: Ether, radicals, dimethyldioxirane, methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane.
