Chemical Properties

Light yellow liquid

Uses

1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate is an ionic liquid used in the recycling of osmium in the dihydroxylation of olefins with osmium(VIII)? oxide. It is a stable liquid electrolyte used in the capillary electrophoretic method for resolving phenolic compounds present in grape seed extract. It also acts as a good solvent for a wide range of both organic and inorganic compounds.

Uses

1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate is a room temperature ionic liquid widely used as an electrolyte in electrochemical studies. Its diffusion coefficient, ¹³C spin-lattice relaxation times, and nuclear Overhauser enhancements have been analyzed using NMR techniques to study its hydrogen bonding. Some of its fundamental physical and chemical properties such as density, viscosity, thermal stability, surface tension, refractive index and pH have been studied over a wide range of temperature.

Uses

The enzymatic resolution of homophenylalanine ester to form enantiomeric homophenylalanine can be performed using 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate as a reaction medium.

General Description

1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate is an air and water stable, room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL). It can be prepared by reacting 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide with tetrafluoroboric acid.
