3-Alkoxymethyl-1-(1R,2S,5R)-(-)-menthoxymethylimidazolium salts-based chiral ionic liquids

A new group of imidazolium salt-based chiral ionic liquids have been prepared and characterized. The chiral ionic liquids obtained are stable in air, in contact with water and popular organic solvents. Their physicochemical properties, single-crystal X-ray structures, antimicrobial activities, and antielectrostatic effects have been determined. The chiral ionic liquids synthesized have proven to represent not only potential new solvents in asymmetric synthesis but also effective disinfectants with antielectrostatic activity.

Ionic liquids with symmetrical dialkoxymethyl-substituted imidazolium cations

A new one-step procedure is described for the synthesis of disubstituted imidazolium chlorides. 1,3-Dialkoxymethylimidazolium chlorides thus obtained can be employed as synthetic precursors of symmetrical ILs. The salts have been found to exhibit antimicrobial activity and an antielectrostatic effect. Their densities and viscosities have been determined and are reported herein. It has also been demonstrated that the ILs can be decomposed using an aqueous solution of KMnO4. For each IL, the permanganate index (IMn) has been estimated, which varies with the structure of cation. The only limitation of IMn is the degree to which the IL dissolves in water.
