We report here the synthesis of various alkylpyridinium and 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium halides on a large scale under microwave irradiation, in a closed vessel. The reaction time was drastically reduced as compared to conventional methods, and good yields were obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
