6.31 g (0.0768 mol) of 1-methylimidazole in 50 ml of dry hexane are introduced into a round-bottomed flask fitted with a reflux condenser. 13.75 g (0.0772 mol) of ethyl triflate are added over the course of 20 minutes with constant stirring and cooling with the aid of an ice bath. After a further 10 minutes, the ice bath is then replaced by an oil bath, and the reaction mixture is refluxed for one hour (oil-bath temperature 70-75° C.). After the hexane has been removed by distillation, the reaction mixture which remains is held at 80-90° C. in a 30-100 Pa vacuum for 5 hours, giving 19.80 g (yield: 99.1%) of 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate as a transparent, colourless liquid.
