Electroanalysis of Neutral Precursors in Protic Ionic Liquids and Synthesis of High-Ionicity Ionic Liquids

Protic ionic liquids (PILs) are ionic liquids that are formed by transferring protons from Br?nsted acids to Br?nsted bases. While they nominally consist entirely of ions, PILs can often behave as though they contain a significant amount of neutral species (either molecules or ion clusters), and there is currently a lot of interest in determining the degree of "ionicity" of PILs. In this contribution, we describe a simple electroanalytical method for detecting and quantifying residual excess acids in a series of ammonium-based PILs (diethylmethylammonium triflate [dema][TfO], dimethylethylammonium triflate [dmea][TfO], triethylammonium trifluoroacetate [tea][TfAc], and dimethylbutylammonium triflate [dmba][TfO]). Ultra-microelectrode voltammetry reveals that some of the accepted methods for synthesizing PILs can readily result in the formation of nonstoichiometric PILs containing up to 230 mM excess acid. In addition, vacuum purification of PILs is of limited use in cases where nonstoichiometric PILs are formed. Although excess bases can be readily removed from PILs under ambient conditions, excess acids cannot be removed, even under high vacuum. The effects of excess acid on the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in PILs have been studied, and the onset potential of the ORR in [dema][TfO] increases by 0.8 V upon addition of acid to PIL. On the basis of the results of our analyses, we provide some recommendations for the synthesis of highly ionic PILs.

Hydrogen-Bonded Species of Pyridinium Halogenoacetetes. 2. Thermometric Behavior in Aprotic Solvents

The enthalpies of reaction of a series of substituted pyridines and of triethylamine, quinoline, and isoquinoline (for the sake of comparison) with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in chloroform were measured at 25 deg C at final solution concentrations ranging from 1E-2 to 5E-2 M.The enthalpies of reaction of 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine, pyridine, and 4-cyanopyridine with trichloroacetic acid (TCA), dichloroacetic acid (DCA), monochloroacetic acid (MCA), and acetic acid (AcOH) in chloroform were also measured at 25 deg C.The concentration dependence of enthalpies of reaction was examined by measuring them for 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine-TFA, pyridine-TFA, and 4-cyanopyridine-TFA in chloroform over the entire possible solution concentration range at 25 deg C.In order to study the energetic behavior of H-bonded species of the ptridine-TFA system in media of different dielectric constants, the enthalpy measurements were made in p-dioxane, o-xylene, and carbon tetrachloride.The thermometric results have been discussed in terms of interactions present in the H-bonded species of these systems in nonaqueous solutions.

Palladium-Catalyzed Hydride Addition/C-H Bond Activation Cascade: Cycloisomerization of 1,6-Diynes

The use of ammonium halide salts as metal hydride precursors in a new Pd-catalyzed cycloisomerization of 1,6-diynes, which affords unexplored silylated 2-azafluorenes, is reported. This cascade process includes the addition of a Pd-hydride species to a π-system, intramolecular carbopalladation, and C(sp2)-H bond activation. A variety of functional groups are tolerated, and the synthetic utility of the resulting products has been demonstrated by a series of derivatizations.

Thermal behavior and electrochemistry of protic ionic liquids based on triethylamine with different acids

Protic ionic liquids (PILs) composed of the triethylammonium cation with dihydrogen phosphite, tosylate, and trifluoroacetate anions were synthesized. All samples were salts with melting points below 100 °C and were characterized via NMR spectroscopy, attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetry (TG). The electrochemical characteristics of each protic ionic liquid were obtained using a combination of impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Moreover, the influence of water on the thermal behavior and conductivity of triethylammonium tosylate is studied. A linear correlation between the temperatures of melting and crystallization is established for a number of PILs, including both derivatives of triethylamine with different acids reported in the literature and the newly synthesized PILs. The optimal combination of thermal characteristics and electroconductivity was observed for triethylammonium trifluoroacetate and tosylate.

Rapid formation of diphenylmethyl ethers and thioethers using microwave irradiation and protic ionic liquids

Using microwave irradiation and protic ionic liquids (pIL) as co-solvent and catalyst for the synthesis of several diphenylmethyl ethers was achieved. The desired ethers were isolated simply by filtration through a silica plug to remove the pIL and proceeded in high yields (60-98%). These reactions were extremely rapid (10-30 min) and occurred under mild conditions (80 °C). This protocol was also successfully applied to the synthesis of thioethers.

Tunable protic ionic liquids as solvent-catalysts for improved synthesis of multiply substituted 1,2,4-triazoles from oxadiazoles and organoamines

More than green alternatives to traditional volatile molecular organic solvents, protic ionic liquids as dual solvent-catalysts have been successfully used to promote reactions of organoamines with oxadiazoles to afford sterically hindered 1,2,4-triazoles. Among the tested protic ionic liquids, pyridinium trifluoroacetate and acetate showed the highest efficiency for the reactions of arylamines and alkylamines, respectively, indicating that tunable catalysis could be readily effected with protic ionic liquid solvent-catalysts by simply tuning their cation and anion counterparts. A general and efficient approach has been developed for synthesis of multiply substituted 1,2,4-triazoles based on the tunable protic ionic liquid solvent-catalyst systems.

Rapid and efficient protic ionic liquid-mediated pinacol rearrangements under microwave irradiation

Several protic ionic liquids were tested as potential mediators for pinacol rearrangements employing microwave irradiation. Using hydrobenzoin as a model substrate, the optimal conditions were found to be heating at 80°C for 5 min using H2SO4:triethylamine as the ionic liquid. A key feature of this reaction was to keep the microwave power low (20 W) to avoid ionic liquid degradation. Application of these conditions to triphenylethylene glycol gave rearrangement products in high yield and purity, while phenylethylene glycol and styrene oxide gave pinacol products that underwent a cascade aldol condensation. These conditions represent an efficient means by which pinacol rearrangements can be carried out while avoiding the use of strong Bronsted acids, high temperatures and extended reaction times.

Dynamic solvation in room-temperature ionic liquids

The dynamic solvation of the fluorescent probe, coumarin 153, is measured in five room-temperature ionic liquids using different experimental techniques and methods of data analysis. With time-resolved stimulated-emission and time-correlated single-photon counting techniques, it is found that the solvation is comprised of an initial rapid component of a??55 ps. In all the solvents, half or more of the solvation is completed within 100 ps. The remainder of the solvation occurs on a much longer time scale. The emission spectra of coumarin 153 are nearly superimposable at all temperatures in a given solvent unless they are obtained using the supercooled liquid, suggesting that the solvents have an essentially glassy nature. The physical origin of the two components is discussed in terms of the polarizability of the organic cation for the faster one and the relative diffusional motion of the cations and the anions for the slower one. A comparison of the solvation response functions obtained from single-wavelength and from spectral-reconstruction measurements is provided. Preliminary fluorescence-upconversion measurements are presented against which the appropriateness of the single-wavelength method for constructing solvation correlation functions and the use of stimulated-emission measurements is considered. These measurements are consistent with the trends mentioned above, but a comparison indicates that the presence of one or more excited states distorts the stimulated-emission kinetics such that they do not perfectly reproduce the spontaneous emission data. Fluorescence-upconversion results indicate an initial solvation component on the order of a??7 ps.

Production of carboxylic acid halides and carboxylate salts

A process for preparing carboxylic acid halides and carboxylate salts by reacting metal or "onium" halides with carboxylic anhydrides, which process is very suitable for working-up anhydrous, spent catalyst preparations. The resulting carboxylic acid halide or carboxylate salt can be used as an acylating reagent or alkylating reagent, and metal halide or "onium" halide liberated during this can be reacted anew with carboxylic anhydride and regenerated, thereby making it possible to effect a hydrolysis-free alkylation or acylation without forming salt-type waste products. If the mixture of carboxylic acid halide and carboxylate salt is allowed to react with an alcohol, preferably in situ, the resulting ester can be isolated without hydrolysis.
