A broad and simple method permitted halide ions in quaternary heteroaromatic and ammonium salts to be exchanged for a variety of anions using an anion exchange resin (A− form) in non-aqueous media. The anion loading of the AER (OH− form) was examined using two different anion sources, acids or ammonium salts, and changing the polarity of the solvents. The AER (A− form) method in organic solvents was

By making use of a modified Radziszewski reaction, it is demonstrated that water-soluble 1,3-dialkylimidazolium-based ionic liquids can be produced in good yields (70-90%) and purities (>95%) starting from readily available, cost-effective monoalkyl-amines, glyoxal, formaldehyde, and mineral or organic acids. The homosubstituted 1,3-dialkylimidazolium salts feature high thermal stabilities similar to those of their heterosubstituted counterparts, and relatively low viscosities, thus fulfilling the requirements for solvent application. The effect of various parameters has been studied with the goal of improving yields for both the batchwise and continuous synthesis (making use of a microreactor setup), allowing for the production of a wide variety of ionic liquids and the introduction of functionalities. The applicability of these ionic liquids is demonstrated on the example of cellulose dissolution and the dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.
