Diels–Alder reactions in ionic liquids . A safe recyclable alternative to lithium perchlorate–diethyl ether mixtures

Martyn J. Earle,   Paul B. McCormac  and  Kenneth R. Seddon  

Abstract

Diels–Alder reactions in neutral ionic liquids (such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, and 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium lactate) are reported. Rate enhancements and selectivities similar to those of reactions performed in lithium perchlorate–diethyl ether mixtures have been observed. As the ionic liquids used have no measurable vapour pressure, are thermally robust, will tolerate impurities such as water, and are recyclable, it is envisaged that these systems could be used on an industrial scale.
