Synthesis and physicochemical properties of L-(+)-α-(positive butyl)-leucine ethyl ester chiral ionic liquids

L-(+)-α-(positive butyl)-leucine ethyl ester bromide chiral ionic liquid was synthesized by using microwave-assisted synthesis method and L-(+)-α-(positive butyl)-leucine ethyl ester terafluoroborate and hexafluorophosphate chiral ionic liquids were synthesized by the anion exchange reaction. The structures were characterized by IR, 1HNMR and structure optimization calculation. The results of studies on physicochemical properties show that they possess better thermal stability, solubility, bio-solubility and high conductivity. They can serve as effective reaction media as well as chiral catalysts. They are presently being investigated as dispersion agents in molecular imprinting ployer.
