This invention relates to ionic liquid (ILs) solvents for chemical synthesis based on an alkyl - imidazolium cation core containing ionic liquids which have enhanced biodegradability and reduced toxicity relative to existing imidazolium bases ILs such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (bmmim) salts. Many of the described ILs produce a score of over 60% biodegradability over 28 days in a biodegradability test such as the Sturm Test, the Closed Bottle Test (OECD 301D) or the CO2 Headspace Test (ISO 14593). The ILs of the invention comprise an alkyl substituted imidazolium cationic core having a -C=OX- side chain in the 3-position of the imidazole ring, wherein X = O, NH, N or S and an associated counteranion characterized in that the -C=OX side chain comprises at least one ether linkage. The biodegradable and non-toxic IL may be used as green solvents for the chemical, pharmaceutical, biofuel and biomass industries. The ILs of the invention are particularly useful in hydrogenation, pericyclic and metathesis reactions.

A variety of Reformatsky reagents were added five times to [60]fullerene in good yield in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of a copper(I) complex. The penta-addition products C-60(CH2CO2R)(5)H (R = Et, t-Bu, CH2CF3, (CH2CH2O)(2)Et, and CH2CH2CCSiMe3) can then be converted to the corresponding penta-hapto metal complexes. When the R group is a (-)-menthyl group, the corresponding metal complex comprises an organometallic complex with a coordination sphere consisting of a homochiral C-5-symmetric environment.

Biodegradable, non-bactericidal oxygen-functionalised imidazolium esters: A step towards ‘greener’ ionic liquids
A series of imidazolium ionic liquids was prepared and screened against 7 bacterial strains. The incorporation of ether groups into the ester side-chain significantly reduced the toxicity compared with alkyl ester derivatives. Biodegradation data are also presented for 15 of the ionic liquidsâincluding 6 examples which can be classed as readily biodegradable.
