Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of some new oxalato Snph 2x (X = Cl, Ncs, Ncse) containing derivatives and adduct

Six new oxalato chlorodiorganostannic derivatives and adduct have been synthesized, their infrared and Moessbauer studies carried out. Polymeric structures have been suggested, the oxalate behaving as a monochelating or a bichelating donor. R2NH2+ cations, when involved, lead to supramolecular structures.

Alkylation of ammonium salts catalyzed by imidazolium-based ionic liquid catalysts

Quaternary ammonium salts were synthesized from ammonium salts and dialkyl carbonates over imidazolium ionic liquid catalysts. The reaction gave almost stoichiometric amounts of the quaternary ammonium salts for halides and nitrates. It was found that the electron-donating property of the alkyl moieties of ammonium cations, the electrophilic nature of the alkyl group of the carbonate, the acidity of the acid that the anion of the ammonium salt corresponds to, and the steric hindrance of the ammonium salts and the dialkyl carbonates are the key factors that influence the yields of quaternary ammonium salts. Strong electron-donating alkyl groups on the nitrogen atom of the ammonium salt, electron-withdrawing groups on the methylene carbon of dialkyl carbonate, and weaker steric hindrance of the starting ammonium salts and dialkyl carbonates favor the alkylation reaction of ammonium salts.
