Propane sultone → 3-(3-Hexadecyl-1-imidazolio)-1-propanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

12.3 g of N-hexadecylimidazole was dissolved in 80 ml of acetone, and the mixture was cooled in an ice-water bath. Into the resultant, a solution in which 5.13 g of 1,3-propanesultone was dissolved in 80 ml of acetone was dripped, and after the dripping was completed, the resultant was stirred at room temperature. After the completion of the reaction, the resultant was filtered to obtain a precipitate. The precipitate was dried under reduced pressure, whereby 15.4 g of 3-(3-hexadecyl-1-imidazolio)-1-propanesulfonate (M-1) represented by the chemical formula (M-1) was obtained.
