Imidazolium salts and their use as solvents for these ionic liquids

摘要

New 1,2,3- or 1,2,3,4- or 1,2,3,4,5- substituted imidazolium salts and their uses as solvent in catalyzed organic reactions, as well as compositions containing them and a transition metal compound. They can be used in the following reactions : the telomerisation of conjugated dienes, the dimerisation of olefins, the oligomerisation of olefins, the polymerization of olefins, the alkylation of olefins, the hydrogenation of olefins, the olefin metathesis, the hydroformylation of olefins, the ring-closing metathesis of olefins, the ring-opening metathesis polymerisation of olefins, the symetric or asymetric epoxidation of olefins (including heteroatom substituted olefins) and the cyclopropanation of olefins, the condensation reaction, the hydrogenation reaction, the isomerization reaction, the Suzuki cross-coupling reactions, the amination reaction, the partial oxidation of alkancs, the kinetic resolution of racemic mixtures, the hydrogenation of imines, the hydrogenation of ketones, the transfer hydrogenation and the hydroxylation of aromatic organic compounds.
