Influence of –SO3H functionalization (N-SO3H or N-R-SO3H, where R=alkyl/benzyl) on the activity of Brönsted acidic ionic liquids in the hydration reaction
摘要:
Sulfonic acid group functionalized imidazole based Bronsted acidic ionic liquids (BAILS) were synthesized and their activities were investigated in the hydration reaction of alkynes. The Hammett acidity order determined from UV-visible spectroscopy of BAILs is consistent with their activity order observed in hydration reactions. Theoretical studies further help to establish the structure-activity relationship. Recycling experiments suggest that these novel BAILs can be reused without significant loss in activity. Applicability of BAILs in hydration reaction opens a non-toxic, economical, and eco-friendly route to synthesize alkyl ketones from alkynes. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A library of ionic liquids was prepared by varying the cations and anions. Bi-functional acidic ionic liquids were prepared by the direct combination of ionic liquids and ZnCl2. Ionic liquids were investigated in the Beckmann rearrangements. A simple, eco-friendly, and recyclable bi-functional acidic ionic liquid based protocol for Beckmann rearrangement is developed, which is based on the fine tuning of the Bronsted and the Lewis acidity of ionic liquids.
