Application of Magnetic Dicationic Ionic Liquid Phase Transfer Catalyst in Nuclophilic Substitution Reactions of Benzyl Halids in Water

Abstract

Magnetic dicationic ionic liquid (MDIL) was successfully prepared and evaluated as phasetransfer catalyst for nucleophilic substitution reactions. The reactions was occurred in water and furnished the corresponding benzyl derivatives in high yields. No evidence for the formation of byproduct for example benzyl alcohol of the reaction was observed and the products were obtained in pure form without further purification.
