1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, CAS: 284049-75-8

Key Applications:

This product has applications such as:

• Cellulose Dissolution & Biomass Processing – one of the most effective ionic liquids for dissolving cellulose, lignin, and other biopolymers, enabled by strong hydrogen bonding between the acetate anion and hydroxyl groups.
• CO₂ Capture & Gas Absorption – studied for selective CO₂ capture, where hydrogen bonding interactions stabilize CO₂ molecules, improving absorption efficiency.
• Catalysis & Reaction Medium – functions as a polar, non‑volatile solvent that enhances selectivity and efficiency in acid‑catalyzed and transition‑metal catalyzed reactions, with hydrogen bonding contributing to reaction pathways.
• Green Solvent Systems – valued as a recyclable ionic liquid with low volatility, supporting sustainable chemistry and reducing reliance on volatile organic solvents.
• Polymer & Material Science – incorporated into ionic liquid‑based composites and coatings to improve conductivity, stability, and mechanical properties.
• Extraction & Separation – applied in selective extraction of lignin and other biomass components, aided by hydrogen bonding interactions that disrupt polymer networks.
