Surfactant-like Br?nsted acidic ionic liquid as an efficient catalyst for selective Mannich reaction and biodiesel production in water

Abstract: The current study deals with the applications of a surfactant-like Br?nsted acidic ionic liquid (IL) 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([DMIm]HSO4) for Mannich reaction at room temperature. The reaction was efficiently preceded in water as solvent without using any harmful and expensive organic additives. Our findings showed that the reaction is selective for cyclohexanone and no Mannich product was observed when cyclopentanone was used as starting material. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to provide an evidence about the nature of reactivity of the cyclohexanone/cyclopentanone. The activity of the catalyst was also tested for biodiesel production of fatty acids with methanol and ethanol at mild thermal condition without applying additional water removal steps such as using additives or performing special methodologies like azeotropic distillation. In both reactions, the IL can be recycled and reused several times with relatively constant efficiency. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Dual functionality of amphiphilic 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ionic liquids: Surfactants with catalytic function

A series of amphiphilic 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ionic liquids were synthesized. Acidic hydrogen sulfate ionic liquids with the alkyl chains C6-C14 are characterized by good surface properties. Their surface properties (adsorption and micellization parameters, degree of ionization of micelles, Krafft temperatures and thermodynamic parameters) were determined. Synthesized ionic liquids were applied as a co-catalyst in an oxirane ring opening reaction in epoxidized fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Their co-catalytic activities were determined and discussed as a function of their structure and surface properties. It was found that the co-catalytic properties, both conversion and selectivity, of alkylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ionic liquids noticeably depended on the alkyl chain lengths, and in consequence their properties.

The use of acidic task-specific ionic liquids in the formation of high surface area mesoporous silica

The acidic ionic liquids 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate [CnMIM]HSO4 (n = 8, 10, 12, 16) were synthesised using a one-pot method and then used as new acidic templates to generate high surface area ordered mesoporous sili
