Recent advances in ionic liquid catalysis

The impressive chemistry, applications and features of ionic liquids: properties, catalysis & catalysts and trends

“…Many recently reviews describe some aspects of the advances made in IL-mediated catalysis. [30][31][32] Considering all these attractive features of imidazolium ILs, they were thought as alternatives to organoaluminate melts, which were prepared upon mixing of quaternary ammonium salts (e.g. N-alkylpyridinium or 1,3-dialkylimidazolium halides) with AlCl 3 in different proportions.…”

New Eco-Friendly 1-Alkyl-3-(4-phenoxybutyl) Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids Derivatives: A Green Ultrasound-Assisted Synthesis, Characterization, Antibacterial Activity and POM Analyses

“…Due to these unique properties, ILs have been widely synthesized and investigated as media for electrodeposition of metals [6][7][8], as a tool for lignocellulosic biomass fractionation [9], catalysis and biocatalysis [10][11][12][13][14][15][16], corrosion inhibition [17][18][19][20], food chemical science [21], and the nuclear industry [22].…”

Eco-Friendly Synthesis of a New Class of Pyridinium-Based Ionic Liquids with Attractive Antimicrobial Activity

“…This compound was obtained as white solid; mp 86-88 °C (0.32 g), (11). This compound was obtained as white semi-solid (0.37 g), (12). This compound was obtained as oil (0.32 g), (13).…”

“…An extensive range of applications of ILs has been reported based on the above-cited characteristics. For example, as an alternative solvent of volatile organic compounds [9,10], as media for the electrodeposition of metals [11], catalysts and biocatalysts [12][13][14], potential corrosion inhibitors [15,16], and in food chemical science [17]. Additionally, the antimicrobial activity of various families of ILs against both environmental and clinically important microorganisms has been studied by different research groups [18,19].…”
