A novel room-temperature dicationic Brønsted acidic ionic liquid: synthesis, characterization and evaluation of its catalytic and antimicrobial activities
摘要
A novel dicationic Brønsted acidic ionic liquid (DBAIL) was synthesized via an acid–base reaction between 1-((3-dimethylammonium)propyl)pyridinium chloride and sulfuric acid. The obtained ionic liquid was thoroughly characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)/differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTG), mass spectrometry (MS), and the Hammett acidity function, thereby confirming its structural features and ionic properties. The DBAIL catalyzed the reaction of aldehydes, dimedone, and ammonium chloride at 110
