The undesirable acetylation of cellulose by the acetate ion of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate

Abstract  

The ionic liquid (IL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C2mim]OAc) is considered to be an inert solvent of cellulose and lignocellulosic biomass. Acetylation (1.7% mol, or DS 0.017) of cellulose after dissolution in technical grade [C2mim]OAc (150 °C for 20 min), is demonstrated by compositional analysis, FTIR analysis and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy (in [C2mim]OAc with ¹³C enriched acetate). This acetylation, in the absence of added acylating agents, has not been reported before and may limit [C2mim]OAc utility in industrial scale biomass processing, even at this low extent. For example, cellulose acetylation may contribute to IL loss in processes where the IL is recovered and reused and inhibit enzyme saccharification of cellulose in lignocellulosic biofuel production processes based on saccharification and fermentation.     

Ionic liquids as reaction medium in cellulose functionalization

The application of different ionic liquids (IL), namely 1-N-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C(4)mim](+)Cl(-)), 3-methyl-N-butyl-pyridinium chloride and benzyldimethyl(tetradecyl)ammonium chloride were investigated as solvents for cellulose. The ILs used have the ability to dissolve cellulose with a degree of polymerization in the range from 290 to 1 200 to a very high concentration. Using [C(4)mim](+)Cl(-), no degradation of the polymer appears. By (13)C NMR measurement it was confirmed that this IL is a so-called non-derivatizing solvent. [C(4)mim](+)Cl(-) can be applied as a reaction medium for the synthesis of carboxymethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate. Without using any catalyst, cellulose derivatives with high degree of substitution could be prepared.(13)C NMR spectrum of cellulose dissolved in the IL [C(4)mim](+)Cl(-) (top). The (13)C NMR spectrum of cellulose dissolved in DMSO/tetrabutylammonium fluoride trihydrate is shown for comparison (bottom).     

Separation of ternary systems of hydrophilic ionic liquid with miscible organic compounds by RPLC with refractive index detection

A rapid and simple analytical method was developed for the simultaneous and quantitative determination and separation of hydrophilic imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, [C(4)mim]Cl; 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, [C(6)mim]Cl; 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, [C(8)mim]Cl; 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, [Amim]Cl; or 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, [Amim]Br) with miscible ethyl acetate and EtOH and their mixtures using reverse phase liquid chromatography coupled with refractive index detection (RPLC-RI). The influence of 60 to 100% (volume percentage) methanol in the mobile phase on the IL systems ([C(4)mim]Cl, [C(6)mim]Cl, [C(8)mim]Cl, [Amim]Br, or [Amim]Cl)-ethyl acetate-EtOH was investigated. The optimum mobile phase for the system [C(8)mim]Cl-ethyl acetate-EtOH, [C(4)mim]Cl-ethyl acetate-EtOH, [Amim]Br-ethyl acetate-EtOH and [Amim]Cl-ethyl acetate-EtOH was methanol/water (60:40, v/v), and methanol/water (70:30, v/v) for [C(6)mim]Cl-ethyl acetate-EtOH. Under optimum mobile phase conditions for each system, the RSD of the retention time ranged from 0.02 to 0.04%, and the RSDs of the peak area percent ranged from 0.23 to 1.85%, which showed good reproducibility of the RPLC-RI method. The RPLC-RI method can determine IL, ethyl acetate, and EtOH simultaneously in 5 min, and the analytes, especially IL, can be eluted completely. The results show that the RPLC-RI method can be used to separate and determine ILs in mixtures with organic compounds simultaneously and quantitatively.     

Solvation and aggregation of n,n'-dialkylimidazolium ionic liquids: a multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulation study

The solvation and aggregation of the ionic liquid (IL) 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C4mim]Cl) in water and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) were examined by analysis of (1)H and (35/37)Cl chemical shift perturbations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Evidence of aggregation of the IL n-butyl chains in aqueous environments at IL concentrations of 75-80 wt% was observed both in the NMR experiments and in the MD simulations. The studies also show that [C4mim]Cl behaves as a typical electrolyte in water, with both ions completely solvated at low concentrations. On the other hand, the data reveal that the interactions between the [C4mim](+) and Cl(-) ions strengthen as the DMSO content of the solutions increases, and IL-rich clusters persist in this solvent even at concentrations below 10 wt%. These results provide an experimentally supported atomistic explanation of the effects that these two solvents have on some of the macroscopic properties of [C4mim]Cl. The implications that these findings could have on the design of IL-based solvent systems are briefly discussed.     

Density functional theory study on the cycloaddition of carbon dioxide with propylene oxide catalyzed by alkylmethylimidazolium chlorine ionic liquids

The cycloaddition of carbon dioxide (CO2) with propylene oxide (PO) in the absence and presence of alkylmethylimidazolium chlorine ([C(n)mim]Cl, n = 2, 4, and 6) ionic liquids has been studied in detail by performing density functional theory calculations at the B3PW91/6-31G(d,p) level. It is found that in the absence of [C(n)mim]Cl the reaction proceeds via two possible channels (each of them involves one elementary step) and the corresponding barriers are found to be as high as 59.71 and 55.10 kcal mol(-1), while in the presence of [C(n)mim]Cl there exist five possible reaction channels (each of them involves two or three elementary steps) and the barriers of the rate-determining steps are reduced to 27.93-38.05 kcal mol(-1), clearly indicating that [C(n)mim]Cl promotes the reaction via modifying the reaction mechanism and thereby remarkably decreases the barrier. The origination of the catalytic activity of [C(n)mim]Cl has been analyzed in detail. The present theoretical study rationalizes the early experimental findings well and provides a clear profile for the cycloaddition of CO2 with PO promoted by [C(n)mim]Cl.

Why does a reduction in hydrogen bonding lead to an increase in viscosity for the 1-butyl-2,3-dimethyl-imidazolium-based ionic liquids?

1-Butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride ([C(4)C(1)im]Cl) is a prototypical ionic liquid. Substitution for a methyl group at the 2-position of the cation to form 1-butyl-2,3-dimethyl-imidazolium ([C(4)C(1)mim]+) eliminates the main hydrogen-bonding interaction between the Cl anion and the imidazolium cation. Loss of this hydrogen-bonding interaction could be expected to lead to a reduction in melting point and a decrease in viscosity; however the opposite is observed experimentally; melting points and viscosity increase. The gas-phase structure and electronic properties of ion pairs formed from [C(4)C(1)mim]+ and Cl- are investigated to offer insight into this counter-intuitive behavior. We hypothesize that the effects due to a loss in hydrogen bonding are outweighed by those due to a loss in entropy. The amount of disorder in the system is reduced in two ways: elimination of ion-pair conformers, which are stable for [C(4)C(1)im]Cl but not [C(4)C(1)mim]Cl, and an increase in the rotational barrier of the butyl chain, which limits free rotation and facilitates alkyl chain association. The reduction in entropy leads to greater ordering within the liquid raising the melting point and increasing viscosity. The relative stabilities of 15 conformers with respect to anion position and alkyl chain rotation are reported at the B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level for [C(4)C(1)mim]Cl. Hydrogen bonding between the cation and the anion is examined on the basis of structural criteria and the computed vibrational spectra (IR and Raman). Spectra for the substituted and unsubstituted cations and ion pairs are compared, and modes are identified for [C(4)C(1)mim]Cl that could be used to differentiate between rotational conformers. A natural bond orbital analysis has also been carried out, and the resultant charge distribution is compared with that of the unsubstituted analogue [C(4)C(1)im]Cl.     

Validation of speciation techniques: a study of chlorozincate(II) ionic liquids

The speciation of chlorozincate(II) ionic liquids, prepared by mixing 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, [C(8)mim]Cl, and zinc(II) chloride in various molar ratios, χ(ZnCl(2)), was investigated using Raman spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry; the Gutmann acceptor number, which is a quantitative measure of Lewis acidity, was also determined as a function of the composition. These results were combined with literature data to define the anionic speciation; in the neat liquid phase, the existence of Cl(-), [ZnCl(4)](2-), [Zn(2)Cl(6)](2-), [Zn(3)Cl(8)](2-), and [Zn(4)Cl(10)](2-) anions was confirmed. From two chlorozincate(II) ionic liquids with [C(2)mim](+) cations (χ(ZnCl(2)) = 0.33 and χ(ZnCl(2)) = 0.50), crystals have been obtained, revealing the structures of [C(2)mim](2)[ZnCl(4)] and [C(2)mim](2)[Zn(2)Cl(6)] forming three-dimensional hydrogen-bond networks. The compound [C(2)mim](2){Zn(4)Cl(10)} was crystallized from the χ(ZnCl(2)) = 0.75 composition, showing an open-framework structure, with the first example of zinc in a trigonal-bipyramidal chloride coordination. Reinvestigation of the electrospray ionization mass spectrometry of these systems demonstrated that it is an unreliable technique to study liquid-phase speciation.     

Mechanism of cellulose dissolution in the ionic liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride: a 13C and 35/37Cl NMR relaxation study on model systems

13C and 35/37Cl NMR relaxation measurements on several model systems demonstrate that the solvation of cellulose by the ionic liquid (IL) 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C4mim]Cl) involves hydrogen-bonding between the carbohydrate hydroxyl protons and the IL chloride ions in a 1 ratio 1 stoichiometry.     

Aggregation behavior of aqueous solutions of ionic liquids

The aggregation behavior in aqueous solutions of three ionic liquids based on the 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cation has been investigated by means of surface tension, conductivity, and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements. From analysis of the SANS data, models for the shapes and sizes of aggregates have been proposed: the short-chain 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [C4mim] [BF4] system can be best modeled by treating it as a dispersion of polydisperse spherical aggregates that form above a critical aggregation concentration, whereas the 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide, [C8mim] [I], solutions can be modeled as a system of regularly sized near-spherical charged micelles that form above a critical micelle concentration. Solutions of 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, [C8mim]-[Cl], display weak long-range ordering of possibly disklike particles culminating in the formation of structures with distinct long-range order at higher concentrations.
