Heterogenously catalyzed one-step alkylation and carboxylation of N-methylimidazole with dimethyl carbonate in continuous flow
The alkylation of N-methylimidazole with dimethyl carbonate yields the respective solid zwitterion N,N′-dimethylimidazolium-2-carboxylate, a versatile precursor for manufacturing non-halide-containing ionic liquids (ILs). This reaction requires high p,T-conditions, i.e., up to 200°C and 70 bar press...
