1,2-Dimethylimidazolium chloride, >98%

1,2-Dimethylimidazolium Chloride, >98% (34531-53-8); Ionic Liquid  

Key Applications

It can be used as a solvent for organic syntheses, such as the preparation of organic azides from primary amines and the aza-Henry reactions.

It can be used as a medium for metal extraction and electrodeposition, such as the deposition of copper oxide on a stainless steel substrate1. Copper oxide has potential applications in supercapacitors due to its high specific capacitance.

It can be used as a component of ionomer membrane actuators, devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy by using ionic liquids as electrolytes2. 1,2-Dimethylimidazolium chloride can form stable functional groups for alkaline anion exchange membranes (AAEMs), which have applications in fuel cells.

It can be used as a ligand for group 11 metal complexes, such as copper, gold, and silver, that can catalyze various organic reactions, such as hydroelement additions, element-element additions, carbo-element additions, hydrations, hydroaminations, hydroarylations, hyroalkoxylations, hydrocarboxylations, cyclizations, hydrofluorinations, and tandem reactions.
