Title : Ionic liquids from simple synthetic approach and its catalytic response

Abstract:

Ionic liquids have much attentions from chemist since last few decades because of their unique properties including chemical stability, very low flammability, less volatility and high thermal stability. Ionic liquids (IL) consist of hydrophobic moieties of organic cation with hydrophilic moiety of an inorganic anion; so, it can act as potential catalysts for most of the organic transformations. Organic segment of ionic liquid containing electro positive nitrogen are acted as second-generation Lewis acid. Pharmaceutically active organic molecules are prepared via carbon–carbon bond formations under Suzuki coupling reaction between some nitrile-functionalized pyridinium ionic liquids showed good catalytic activity.

Audience Takeaway:

  • Target molecules are obtained from shortest synthetic approach
  • Researchers could minimize the toxic solvent during their synthesis
  • Purification techniques are completely avoided during our current research
  • Efficiency of recycled catalyst found to be very interesting
  • Our approach has more merits than the conventional method so future researchers will
  • follow
