Dichloromethane → N-methoxymethyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(pentafluoroethanesulfonyl)imide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 15.0 g quantity of N-methoxymethyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium chloride prepared in Example 10 was dissolved in 50 g of water, and 35.1 g of lithium bis(pentafluoroethanesulfonyl)imide was added to the solution. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, and dichloromethane was thereafter added to the mixture, followed by extraction. The organic layer was washed with 50 g of water ten times and then dried, giving 31.4 g of a colorless liquid as the desired product.
