Abstract

A series of monocationic and dicationic-SO3H functionalized Brønsted acidic ionic liquids (BAILs) were synthesized using different amines int. al., N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, 1-methylimidazole, pyridine, and alkylating agents: 1,3-propane- and 1,4-butanesultones. The Hammett acidity (H0) and thermal properties by TG-DSC techniques are investigated. These ionic liquids have been applied to catalyze the dehydration reaction of aliphatic long chain alcohols (1-heptanol, 1-octanol, 1-decanol) at 195 °C. The optimization of reaction conditions and the use of dicationic ionic liquids allow to reach rather high yields of symmetric diheptyl ether and dioctyl ether. The reusability of ionic liquids is evaluated using monocationic [PyPS][HSO4], dicationic [TMEDAPS][HSO4] ionic liquids, and 1-heptanol.
