Application:	1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate is an ionic liquid employed in many environmentally friendly reactions. It can also be used as a medium for reactions such as: • Ring-closing metathesis of diene and enyne substrates in the presence of a novel recyclable ruthenium carbene complex. • Nickel(II)acetylacetonate catalyzed oxidation of aromatic aldehydes to the corresponding acids using dioxygen as the oxidant. • Lipase-catalyzed enantioselective acylation of allylic alcohols. • Allylation of aldehydes using tetraallylstannane to yield homoallylic alcohols.
Features and Benefits:	We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is an environmentally benign and has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Click here for more information.
General description:	BMIMPF₆ is used as an efficient reaction medium for various synthetic and catalytic transformations. 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate is an imidazolium-based, hydrophobic, room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL). It can be prepared by reacting 1-methylimidazole with chlorobutane. Gaseous hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) such as fluoromethane, fluoroethane and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane are soluble in BMIMPF₆.
