INTRODUCTION

o Ionic liquids (ILs) are ionic salt that are liquid below 100°C.

o ILs have emerged as an environmentally friendly alternative to the volatile organic solvents.

o ILs possess unique tunable physicochemical properties like high viscosity, low vapour pressure, non-flammability

o ILs find applications in various fields like catalysis, electrochemistry, spectroscopy, and in material science.

tween 20 trimesylate precursor

The first step involves the mesylation of three hydroxyl groups of Tween 60.

The mesylation was carried out by treating the Tween 60 with methyl sulfonyl chloride and triethylamine initially at 0° C and then it was kept for 16 h at room temperature with continuous stirring.

Then after getting the step-I mesylated intermediate, the product was treated with 1- methyl imidazolium for 28 h at 80°C.

The product was purified with diethyl ether to remove the unreacted starting material to get the Tween-60-tri (1-methylimidazolium) trimesylate.

Result and Discussion Our first target was to prepare a trimesylate precursor. To that target, we

envisioned the use of surfactant Tween 60 as our starting material. We used triethylamine and methyl sufonyl chloride for preparing the trimesylate precursor and it was confirmed by TLC and IR studies.

Then we replace the –Oms group by Methyl Imidazole group by reacting the step-I product with 1-Methyl Imidazole and refluxed with acetonitrile. The product so formed is brownish viscous Tween-60-tri (1-methylimidazolium) trimesylate and it was confirmed by TLC and IR studies.

In the third and final step we put the purified step II product for metathesis reaction and exchange the (Oms)- ions with BF4

- by treating it with NaBF4. The reaction was confirmed by IR studies.
