Click reactions as a key step for an efficient and selective synthesis of D-xylose-based ILs

Molecules. 2013 Sep 17;18(9):11512-25. doi: 10.3390/molecules180911512.

Abstract

D-Xylose-based ionic liquids have been prepared from D-xylose following a five steps reaction sequence, the key step being a click cycloaddition. These ionic liquids (ILs) have been characterized through classical analytical methods (IR, NMR, mass spectroscopy, elemental analysis) and their stability constants, Tg and Tdec, were also determined. Considering their properties and their hydrophilicity, these compounds could be alternative solvents for chemical applications under mild conditions.
