Homogeneous supported synthesis using ionic liquid supports: tunable separation properties

J Org Chem. 2005 Apr 1;70(7):2874-7. doi: 10.1021/jo047807k.

Abstract

[structure: see text] We report a homogeneous supported version of Koser's salt based on a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) support. By altering the nature of the RTIL, a material was developed that was stable, recyclable, and readily separable from the tosyloxylated ketone products just by using variations in solvent polarity. A similar approach should be applicable to a wide range of supported catalysts and reagents.
