METHOD FOR PREPARATION OF REGENERATIVE IMIDAZOLIUM REAGENTS

摘要

The present invention relates to novel imidazolium compounds and improved method for the preparation of imidazolium salts. More specifically the invention describes preparation of 1,3-substituted imidazolium reagents whereby the reactive species can be regenerated upon consumption and readily re-usable for versatile chemical transformations. The syntheses of novel imidazolium salts are for applications as oxidizing agent in environmentally electrochemical reactions, internal electrolyte for durable reference electrode and lipophilic salts for anion chemical sensors.
