General description
1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate [bmim][OTf] is a versatile ionic liquid commonly used in synthetic chemistry.
Application
[bmim][OTf] can be used as:
- A glycosylation promoter in the synthesis of oligosaccharides from thiophenyl and trichloroacetimidate glycoside donors.
- A solvent for the extraction of sulfur and nitrogen containing aromatic organic compounds from aliphatic hydrocarbons.
- A reagent in the preparation of ion-conductive polymeric membranes.
- A dopant in the synthesis of poly (ethyl methacrylate) based polymer electrolytes to increase the ionic conductivity.
- A reaction medium to synthesize aryl ketones by Friedel–Crafts benzoylation of aryl compounds by using bismuth triflate as a catalyst.
