The first example of the one-pot oxidative conjugate addition of sulfur-centred nucleophiles to Baylis-Hillman adducts is reported. The reaction involves oxidation of Baylis-Hillman adducts with NaNO₃ in the Brønsted acidic ionic liquid [Hmim]HSO₄ to give [E]-α-cyanocinnamaldehydes followed by conjugate hydrothiocyanation/hydrosulfenylation with NH₄SCN/PhSH to afford the corresponding β-thiocyanato (or β-phenylsulfenyl)-α-cyanohydrocinnamaldehydes diastereoselectively in 76-89% yields in a one-pot procedure. After isolation of the product, the ionic liquid [Hmim]HSO₄ could be easily recycled for further use.

Fructone(2-methyl-2-ethylacetoacetate-1,3-dioxolane),a flavouring material,has been synthesized from ethyl acetoacetate and glycol using five water-soluble Br(?)nsted acid ionic liquids as catalysts for the first time.The used Br(?)nsted acid ionic liquids include [Hmim]Tfa,[Hmim]Tsa,[Hmim]BF_4,[Bmim]HSO4,[Bmim]H_2PO_4,and[Hmim]BF_4 showed the highest catalytic activity for the preparation of fructone.After reaction,the product could be isolated from the reaction system automatically,and the ionic liquid could be directly reused without dehydration.     

An efficient synthesis of some thiopyranopyrazole-heterocycles via domino reaction in a Brønsted acidic ionic liquid

The thiopyrazole gave many new polycyclic thiopyranopyrazole-heterocycles when it was assembled with a variety of O-alkenylated/alkynylated salicylaldehydes and naphthaldehydes in Brønsted acidic ionic liquid, [Hmim]HSO₄, via domino/Knoevenagel–hetero-Diels–Alder (DKHDA) reaction. The reaction is highly stereoselective and the work-up procedure required no chromatography of products in many cases.     

Performance and Mechanism of Alkylimidazolium Ionic Liquids as Corrosion Inhibitors for Copper in Sulfuric Acid Solution

The addition of corrosion inhibitors is an economic and environmental protection method to prevent the corrosion of copper. The adsorption, performance, and mechanism of three 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([BMIM]HSO₄, [HMIM]HSO₄, and [OMIM]HSO₄) ionic liquids (ILs) on the copper surface in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ solutions were studied by quantum chemical calculation, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR), and molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the main reactive site is located on the imidazolium ring (especially the C2, N4, and N7 groups). When the alkyl chain of the imidazolium ring is increasing, the molecular reactivity of the ILs and the interaction between the ILs inhibitor and copper surface are enhanced. The imidazole ring of the ILs tends to be adsorbed on Cu (111) surface in parallel through physical adsorption. The order of adsorption energy is [Bmim]HSO₄ < [Hmim]HSO₄ < [OMIM]HSO₄, which is in agreement with the experimental order of corrosion efficiency. On the imidazole ring, the interaction between the copper surface and the C atom is greater than that between the copper surface and the N atom. It is found that ILs addition can hinder the diffusion of corrosion particles, reduce the number density of corrosion particles and slow down the corrosion rate. The order of inhibition ability of three ILs is [Bmim]HSO₄ < [Hmim]HSO₄ < [OMIM]HSO₄,which agree well with experimental results. A reliable QSAR correlation between the inhibition corrosion efficiency and molecular reactivity parameters of the ILs was established.     

Ionic liquid-promoted one-pot oxidative Michael addition of TMSCN to Baylis-Hillman adducts

The first example of ionic liquid-promoted one-pot oxidative conjugate hydrocyanation of Baylis-Hillman adducts with trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) is reported. The oxidation of Baylis-Hillman adducts with IBX/[bmim]Br or isomerization-oxidation with NaNO₃/[Hmim]HSO₄ systems affords β-ketomethylene compounds or [E]-cinnamaldehydes, respectively. These α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds undergo Michael addition with TMSCN in the same vessel to afford the corresponding thermodynamically more stable β-cyanated products. Thermodynamically less stable 1,2-addition products were not formed. The present regioselective reactions are promoted by ionic liquids, which can be recycled easily for further use without any loss of efficiency.     

离子液体催化剂用于煤焦化苯深度脱硫制无硫苯

从扩大有机合成用苯的需求出发,采用研制的离子液体催化剂考察了煤焦化苯深度脱硫制无硫苯的过程。结果表明：N-甲基咪唑硫酸氢盐[Hmim][HSO₄]离子液体催化剂脱噻吩效果与其酸函数值有关。本文采用Hammett指示剂测定离子液体的酸函数H₀,并得出：在-4至-12的范围,离子液体催化剂可以使煤焦化苯噻吩脱至0. 5mg/L以下。与固体酸催化机理相似,酸量和酸强度一定的离子液体催化剂通过Friedel-Crafts反应形成烷基噻吩等,与苯的物性拉开距离,对苯的分离精制是必不可少的,但是过多、过强的[Hmim][HSO₄]酸值也更有利于苯-噻吩-烯烃共聚合等副反应的发生,从而影响离子液体催化剂重复使用的寿命。本研究利用煤焦化苯脱硫反应形成的噻吩衍生物作为提供电荷流通的聚合物,将反复使用后性能不佳的离子液体成分等作为“受电子型”和“给电子型”的掺杂剂,进行导电（抗静电）材料的制备。结果显示：对煤焦化苯脱硫形成的噻吩衍生物等可以用于掺杂导电材料的试制。     

Biginelli reaction starting directly from alcohols

An efficient of one-pot oxidative access to 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones directly from aromatic alcohols under mild conditions is reported. The protocol involves 1-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate [Hmim]HSO₄ catalyzed oxidation of aromatic alcohols to aromatic aldehydes with NaNO₃ followed by their cyclocondensation with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and urea in the same reaction vessel at 80 °C within 2-4 h to afford 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones in 55-97% overall yields. Thus, the present work utilizing alcohols instead of aldehyde in Biginelli reaction is a valid and green alternative to the classical synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones.

The solubilities correlated by the model are in good agreement with experimental data.     

Halogen-Free Room-Temperature Brønsted Acidic Ionic Liquid [Hmim]+ HSO4 − as a Recyclable Green “Dual Reagent” Catalysis for the Synthesis of Triarylmethanes (TRAMs)

Abstract

The halogen-free Brønsted acidic ionic liquid methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([Hmim]⁺ HSO₄ ^?) acts as a very efficient catalyst for the one-pot, two-component Baeyer condensation of a variety of aromatic aldehydes with dimethyl or diethyl aniline at room temperature. This “green” reagent behaves as both catalyst and solvent; that is, it exhibits “dual-reagent catalysis.” The room-temperature acidic ionic liquid could be recycled several times with almost no loss in the yield of the reaction. This is the first report of the Baeyer synthesis with a halogen-free ionic liquid.

The ionic liquid [Hmim]⁺BF₄⁻ could be reused with almost no loss of activity.     

[Hmim]PF6 enhanced the extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from soil with the QuEChERS method

To detect, identify, and quantify the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) released into the environment, the PAHs need to be isolated from the soil matrix. In this work, a modified quick, easy, cheap, efficient, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) method with ionic liquid was combined with liquid chromatography to identify 16 selected PAHs in soil. Ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Hmim]PF₆) was applied as an extractant component to enhance the process. The [Hmim]PF₆ content in acetonitrile (ACN) was optimized. The [Hmim]PF₆ modified QuEChERS method has the advantages defined by its name and a similar recovery to other extraction methods reported in the literature. Adding [Hmim]PF₆ may eliminate the co-extract proportion and achieve a more effective extraction. Compared with ACN alone, the matrix effect (ME) of ACN containing 5% [Hmim]PF₆ was reduced by approximately 35%. Additionally, the ME of using ACN containing [Hmim]PF₆ without a clean-up procedure was similar to that of using ACN followed by a clean-up procedure. The recoveries of the QuEChERS method implemented with [Hmim]PF₆ ranged from 75.19% to 100.98%. The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) ranged from 0.86 to 4.51 µg/kg and from 2.87 to 15.13 µg/kg, respectively.

Preparation of ionic liquid-encapsulated polymer particles

Encapsulation of ionic liquid, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)amide ([Hmim][TFSA]), was carried out by microsuspension polymerization of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM) utilizing the self-assembling of phase-separated polymer method, which had been proposed by us for the preparation of hollow polymer particles. After the optimization of the polymerization conditions, ionic liquid-encapsulated polymer particles, which have smooth surface morphology and a single hollow structure, were successfully prepared. Encapsulation efficiency of [Hmim][TFSA] was significantly improved from about 20–70 % by changing the shell polymer from polyEGDM homopolymer to poly(EGDM-butyl methacrylate) (50/50, w/w) copolymer, which was likely to have relatively low affinity for [Hmim][TFSA]. Additionally, ionic liquid-encapsulated polymer particles displaying ionic conductivity were successfully prepared using triethylene glycol dimethacrylate as divinyl monomer instead of EGDM.

Moreover, its ability of being recovered and reused many times without loss of activity has made [CMI][HSO₄] more favorable from the viewpoint of green chemistry.

The catalyst can be recovered and reused for at least four runs without any significant impact on the product yields.     

Investigation of an alternative chemical agent to recover valuable metals from anode slime

Anode slime (AS) including high content of precious metals is a by-product obtained after the electro-refining stage in copper production. In this study, it is aimed to recover Cu, Au, and Ag from the AS by using 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hydrogen sulphate ([Bmim]HSO₄) ionic liquid (IL) as a green solvent. The effects of IL concentration, temperature, reaction time and pulp density on recovery of valuable metals were statistically investigated. A high copper recovery of 87.52% was obtained under optimum condition as in 60% (v/v) [Bmim]HSO₄ at 50 °C after 2 h, pulp density at 40 g/L (1/25 solid/liquid ratio). Also, a remarkable gold recovery as 97.32% has been achieved in 80% (v/v) [Bmim]HSO₄ at 95 °C after 4 h, pulp density at 40 g/L. Temperature and IL concentration were detected as the most effective parameters for copper and gold recovery from AS, respectively. Silver could not be recovered from the AS due to the lower solubility in [Bmim]HSO₄ IL media. According to experimental results, [Bmim]HSO₄ could be offered as an alternative leaching agent, instead of conventional solvents, to recover valuable metals from copper anode slime.
