Alkylation reactions and their products are considered crucial in various contexts.
Synthetically, the alkylation of a nucleophile is usually promoted using hazardous alkyl …

New antibacterial agents are urgently required to fight the emergence of antibiotic-resistant
bacteria. We recently synthesized the first thioimidazolium ionene, which has antibacterial …

During production of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) by propylene hydration, a mixture of diisopropyl
ether (DIPE) and IPA is obtained as a byproduct. Because DIPE and IPA have similar boiling …

The ability of chalcogenium salts to transfer an electrophilic moiety to a given nucleophile is
well known. However, up to date, these reagents have been used in stoichiometric …

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and diisopropyl ether (DIPE) are widely used as biofuel additives in
fuel processing. When IPA is produced by propylene hydration, a by-product IPA and DIPE …

Alkylating reagents based on thioimidazolium ionic liquids were synthesized and the
influence of the anion on the alkylation reaction mechanism explored in detail using both …

New thiol-functionalized carboxylate ionic liquids (ILs), varying both for the cation and for the
anion structures, have been prepared as new potential redox switching systems by reacting …

A series of readily regenerable thioimidazolium‐based ionic liquids, which can transfer alkyl
groups to nucleophiles, are immobilized on crosslinked polystyrene beads. Different alkyl …

Herein we report a generally applicable method for the preparation of N‐substituted benzo
[4, 5] thiazolo [2, 3‐c][1, 2, 4] triazol‐1‐ium salts from air stable precursors. This …

Reactions of bipyridyl‐functionalized imidazole‐thiones and selones with MeX (X= I, OTf)
afforded sulfenyl and selenenyl cations [(NNC) EMe] X (2/3, E= S, Se). Further reactions of …
