1-Methylimidazole → 1-Methyl-3-5-hexenyl imidazolium chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 1 was repeated with minor changes. 51.0 g of 6-chloro-1-hexene (Aldrich) and 35.3 g of 1-methylimidazole (Aldrich) were added into a 2000 ml three-neck round-bottom flask. The reaction temperature was set from 75 to 80° C. After four hours the milk-like solution transferred into a homogenous solution. The reaction was continued for three days. Then, the product was washed with ethyl acetate five times. After that, it was dried under vacuum for three days.
