Synthesis of Imidazolium Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids: A Follow-Up to the Procedure of Dzyuba, Kollar, and Sabnis

“…RTILs have garnered interest as nonvolatile and environmentally benign alternatives to traditional and often hazardous organic solvents, although the assumption that these characteristics apply to all RTILs does not always hold true . The popularity of RTILs as green reaction solvents, coupled with expanding interest in greening of the undergraduate chemistry curriculum, has led to several reports in this , and other journals of the use of RTILs in undergraduate chemistry teaching labs.…”

Ionic Liquids and Green Chemistry: A Lab Experiment

“…In addition, ionic liquids feature a low vapor pressure and nonflammability, leading to the assumption that emissions and exposure are reduced. Hence, ionic liquids have often been uncritically referred to as green or environmentally benign (e.g., refs and ). While this may be true in some instances, generalized statements of this kind are not accurate, especially in a teaching context.…”

“…Although ionic liquids have received increasing attention in both academia and industry, a thorough literature review1 revealed that the development of these neoteric solvents is not reflected appropriately in laboratory experiments ,, , although many of our colleagues cover them in diverse undergraduate lectures.…”
