General description

1,2-Dimethylimidazole reacts with copper(II) tetraacetate to yield cis-bis(acetato)bis(1,2-dimethylimidazole) copper(II) complex. It undergoes Menschutkin reaction with benzyl bromide to yield 3-benzyl-1,2-dimethylimidazolium bromide and kinetics of reaction was studied in various ionic liquids and molecular organic solvents.

Application

1,2-Dimethylimidazole was used in the synthesis of 1,2-dimethyl-3-n-butylimidazoliumchloride and 1,2-dimethyl-3-n-propylimidazolium chloride. It was also used in the synthesis of 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-2,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride and hexafluorophosphate salts.

A number of 1,2-dimethylimidazole ionic liquids substituted on N(II) with alkyl chains of varying lengths terminated with sulfur-containing groups were investigated by electrospray high-resolution tandem Fourier-transform mass spectrometry. Fragmentation pathways are strongly dependent on the oxidation state of the sulfur

Four novel ILs functionalized β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) were prepared by treating 6-tosyl-β-cyclodextrin with 1,2-dimethylimidazole or 1-amino-1,2,3-triazole, and bonded to silica gel to obtain chiral stationary phases (CSPs) to be used in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The separation performances of these CSPs
