1-Butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium-bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) -imide is an ionic liquid (also: ionic liquid or liquid salt).

properties

1-Butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium-bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) -imide is an ionic liquid . It is a very temperature-stable, water-insoluble compound . It is neither flammable nor does it have a measurable vapor pressure at room temperature . The melting point is 2 ° C. It is very suitable as a solvent or coolant .

presentation

It is prepared by reacting 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C 8 H 15 ClN 2 ) and lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulphone) imide (C 2 F 6 LiNO 4 S 2 ) in water. Two phases are formed. The lower one is the ionic liquid.

use

1-Butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium-bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) -imide is used, like many other ionic liquids, in organic synthesis. Due to its ionic structure, it is a polar solvent. Like many other ionic liquids, it is not miscible with water or with many other organic solvents. Therefore, the reactants are extracted after a reaction and the ionic liquid can be used again.
