3-Butyl-1-methylimidazolinium borohydride ([bmim][BH4])—a novel reducing agent for the selective reduction of carbon–carbon double bonds in activated conjugated alkenes
A novel ionic reducing reagent, 3-butyl-1-methylimidazolium borohydride ([bmim][BH4]), was synthesized and successfully used for the selective reduction of carbon–carbondoublebonds in conjugated alkenes as well as the α,β-carbon–carbon doublebonds in highly activated α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated alkenes. The reagent can be regenerated and reused several times without losing its activity.

could allow the use of these substances as bipropellant fuels under a variety of conditions. A new family of borohydride ionic liquids and borane–ionic‐liquid solutions is described which meets nearly all of the desired important criteria for well‐performing fuels. They exhibit ignition‐delay times that are superior to that of any known hypergolic ionic liquid and may thus be legitimate replacements for

The effect of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) on the hydrolysis activity of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) toward triacylglycerol was investigated. The critical micelle concentrations (CMC) of ILs with Br-, Cl-, and [BF4](-) anions and the solubility of ILs with [PF6](-) anions were determined in phosphate buffer. Results suggested that the content of the ILs, not kosmotropicity, highly influenced the effects of anions and cations of ILs on CRL activity. As the length of alkyl chain of the cation [CnMIM](+) increased, lower IL content was required to achieve high enzyme activity. Once the concentrations of the ILs with Br-, Cl-, and [BF4](-) anions exceeded the CMC value, enzyme activity was suppressed. The positive promotion effect of anions on enzyme activity was in the order of Br- > Cl- > [BF4]- > [PF6](-). The effect of ionic liquid on enzyme activity was highly dependent on the pH and temperature of the system, with the optimum pH being 7.000. Under optimal conditions of pH 7.000, 30 degrees C, and 47.6 mmol/L of [C8MIM]Br, the highest relative activity of CRL (1734%) was achieved, with a specific activity of 54.4 U/mg protein.

Improved intermolecular hydride transfer using task-specific ionic liquid: a reasonable and environmentally benign approach for the synthesis of bioactive 2H-thiopyran derivatives
The present study describes, for the first time, the application of 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium borohydride ([bmim]BH4) as task-specific ionic liquid for highly regioselective reduction of triarylthiopyrylium salts. This method furnished a straightforward route for the synthesis of valuable 2H-thiopyrans derivatives, which are widely present as motifs in an assortment of biologically active molecules, in satisfactory yields, and excellent conversions without any conventional catalyst and organic solvent.[GRAPHICS].
