Styrene oxidation by hydrogen peroxide in ionic liquids: the role of the solvent on the competition between two Pd-catalyzed processes, oxidation and dimerization

A series of hydrophilic N,N-dimethylpyrrolidinium-and N,N-dimethylpiperidinium-based ionic liquids (ILs) have been prepared and applied as reaction media in the Wacker oxidation of styrene by hydrogen peroxide using PdCl2 as the catalyst. The efficiency of ...

Development of nitrile-functionalized ionic liquids for C-C coupling reactions: implication of carbene and nanoparticle catalysts

Rosario Scopelliti, Paul Joseph Dyson, Dongbin Zhao, Zhaofu Fei, Wee Han Ang, Cinzia Chiappe

A series of nitrile-functionalized imidazolium salts (many of which are liquid at room temperature) have been prepared. The reactivity of these salts with PdCl2 has been studied, resulting in salts containing a tetrachloropalladate dianion or co ...

Remarkable Anion and Cation Effects on Stille Reactions in Functionalised Ionic Liquids

Paul Joseph Dyson, Dongbin Zhao, Zhaofu Fei, Cinzia Chiappe

Task-specific ionic liquids bearing nitrile functional groups attached to the cation and nitrogen-donor-containing anions strongly affect the efficiency of the Stille cross-coupling, influencing the nature of the catalyst and its stability. The relative st ...
