Procedure

Methyl methanesulfonate (5.50 g; 50 mmol) was mixed with 1-methyl imidazolium (4.10 g; 50 mmol) and the reaction mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature (25° C.) for 60 hours. After this period of time, the yellow reaction mixture became solidified. The crystalline mass was crushed, washed two times with ethyl acetate and dried under vacuum, which produced colorless crystals of 1,3-dimethyl imidazolium methanesulfonate (8.16 g, 85% yield), melting point 93.1° C. RMN—1H (CDCl3) δ: 9.81 (1H, s, C—H imidazolium); 7.43 (2H, s, C—H imidazolium); 4.02 (6H, s, NCH3); 2.79 (3H, s, CH3SO3). RMN—13C (CDCl3) δ: 138.5 and 123.3 (C—H imidazolium); 39.4 (CH3SO3); 36.3 (NCH3).
