Manuscript Region of Origin: SPAIN Reviewers' comments:Reviewer #1: This manuscript reports interesting results about the electrodeposition of aluminium using tetramethyl guanidium -perfluoro -3 -oxa-4,5 dichloro-pentansulphonate, a novel hydrophobic ionic liquid, which is synthesized and supplied by Solvay Specialty Polymers. The effect of temperature, aluminium and bistrifluoromethanesulfonimide lithium salt concentration, in the conductivity and electrochemical behavior of the electrolyte is evaluated and clearly discussed. However, the manuscript needs some improvements before acceptance for publication. My detailed comments are as follows:At first the authors want to acknowledge the reviewer for the fruitful comment and then we tried to answer the questions The objective of this paragraph was encourage the use of the electrodeposition for the preparation of deposits. At no time it was intended to give the impression that aluminum electrodeposition from IL was used for the first time. The paragraph has been rewritten and the suggested references included and consequently reordered. 2.Introduction section (Page 3), the phrase "Aluminium has a low reduction potential", is contrary to that reported in literature. In fact, because of the rather negative standard potential of Al, electrodeposition of Al from aqueous solutions is not possible due to hydrogen evolution at the cathode (Ref. 12 in the manuscript).The words "low reduction" was used as synonym of "very negative" potential. In the new version in order to avoid misunderstandings between potential and overpotential, the phase contains "very negative standard potential". 3.Page 10, just before the last paragraph, the authors comment that the voltammograms of Fig. 4B show the onset of reduction current at higher potentials if the aluminium content is increased. I suggest changing "higher potentials" for "more positive potentials" to avoid confusions.According to the suggestion and in order to clarify the text, in this paragraph and others the "higher/lower" comparative were substituted by "more positive/more negative" in order to avoid confusions. 4.Page 11, in the discussion of the voltammetric curves obtained in the absence and presence of LiTFSI (Fig. 7), the authors comment that LiTFSI favours the aluminium deposition process, only based in the appearance of the reduction onset at Response to Reviews Aluminium electrodeposition from a novel hydrophobic ionic liquid tetramethyl guanidium -perfluoro-3-oxa-4,5 dichloro-pentan-sulphonate

By reacting 4,5‐unsubstituted isothiazole dioxides with diazoalkanes and nitrile oxides bicyclic pyrazolo[3,4‐d]isothiazole and isothiazolo[5,4‐d]isoxazole S,S‐dioxides were obtained in good yield through a regioselective cycloaddition reaction. Through cycloaddition reaction of 3‐benzylamino‐4‐bromo‐isothiazole S,S‐dioxide labile cycloadducts were formed that underwent in situ dehydrobromination affording the corresponding aromatized compounds.

In this study we will present and discuss both the synthesis of CF2=CFCF2OSO2F (perfluoroallyl fluorosulfate, FAFS), focusing in particular on the important role of C3F6/SO3 ratio, reaction temperature and boron catalyst/SO3 ratio on FAFS’ yield and selectivity, as well as a wide variety of ionic and radical reactions possible with FAFS. We focused our attention on reactions of FAFS with aliphatic and aromatic alcohols, acyl halides, halides, H2O2, ketones and radicals whose synthesis and reaction mechanisms will be presented and discussed. Particular attention will be devoted to the novel diallyl-fluoroalkyl peroxide obtained. Factors such as pKa and Lowry and Pearson’s Hard/Soft Acid-Base Theory which determine the selectivity between Addition/Elimination vs. Nucleophilic Substitution reaction mechanisms on FAFS will also be presented and discussed.
