Novel chiral phosphonium ionic liquids as solvents and catalysts for cycloadditions. Investigation of the Diels-Alder reaction of a series of dienes and dienophiles in novel chiral phosphonium ionic liquids.

The use of ionic liquids (ILs) as both reagents and solvents is widely recognised. ILs offer a number of advantages compared to regular molecular solvents. These advantages include: chemical and thermal stability, no measurable vapour pressure, no or lower toxicity, non-flammability, catalytic abili...
