Title: Method and industrial process for continuous synthesis of different ionic liquids
Inventor: POMMERSHEIM RAINER
IPC: C07D233/58
Filed: 2014-05-06
Abstract: Producing different ionic liquids industrially currently requires either operating separate plants or continually refitting existing plants. While this is not laborious, it is often not economical either. The problem the present invention addresses is that of describing a method and an industrial process by which different ionic liquids can be produced almost synchronously in a unitary production sequence. This is done either by using a chemical intermediate both relatively simple to prepare and readily convertible into multiple products, or by preparing the desired products in the same industrial process by direct synthesis from the appropriate starting materials. The method described here allows the synthesis of different ionic liquids in excellent yields and grades in a unitary production operation.
