General Description

BzDMIMCl is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C13H14NCl. It is a type of ionic liquid, which consists of ions instead of molecules, and is often used as a solvent or catalyst in organic reactions. BzDMIMCl has a benzyl (Bz) group attached to a 1,3-dimethylimidazolium (DMIM) cation, which gives it unique properties such as low viscosity, high thermal stability, and good solubility for a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds. It is also known for its ability to easily dissolve cellulose and other biomass materials, making it a promising candidate for sustainable and eco-friendly processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Additionally, BzDMIMCl has potential applications in energy storage, electrochemistry, and as an antimicrobial agent. Overall, BzDMIMCl is a versatile and valuable chemical compound with a wide range of potential uses in various fields.

Effects of 1-Alkyl-(and 1-Benzyl)-2,3-Dimethylimidazolium Ionic Liquids as Additives on the Micellar Behavior of Surfactant SB-12

The micellization and surface-active behavior of zwitterionic surfactant N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate (SB-12) in aqueous media were investigated in the absence and presence of different alkyl-appended and benzyl-appended ionic liquids (IL) 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride [bdmim][Cl], 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium bromide [bdmim][Br], 1-hexyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium bromide [hdmim][Br], and 1-benzyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride [bzdmim][Cl]. The characteristics of self-organization processes in SB-12 + IL/water systems include critical micelle concentration (cmc), aggregation number (Nagg), micellar size (D), surface, and adsorption parameters. These parameters were determined by the fluorescence and surface tension measurements. In SB-12 solutions, cmc were found to be decreasing to different extents in the presence of all the studied IL than in pure water. The addition of IL [hdmim][Br] decreases the cmc of aqueous SB-12 to rather a low extent. The other three IL show a prominent lowering in cmc of surfactant SB-12 to different magnitude. The maximum lowering in cmc was observed due to addition of benzyl-appended IL [bzdmim][Cl]. The aggregation number of aqueous SB-12 solution obtained in general is higher at high wt.% of added IL. The average micellar size was also found to increase upon addition of IL. Both IL anions and cations interacted with the charged centers present on the zwitterionic surfactant SB-12, which caused a substantial increase in the surface activity.

Characterizing Cation Chemistry for Anion Exchange Membranes - A Product Study of Benzylimidazolium Salt Decompositions in the Base

Imidazolium functionality has played a prominent role in research on anion exchange membranes for use in alkaline electrochemical devices. Base stability and degradation of these materials has been much studied, but in many instances, product pathways have not been thoroughly delineated. We report an NMR study of base-induced decomposition products from three benzylimidazolium salts bearing varying extents of methyl substitution on the imidazolium ring. The major products are consistent with a hydrolytic ring fragmentation pathway as the principal mode of decomposition. We observe several new products not previously reported in the literature on imidazolium salt degradation, including benzilic acid rearrangement products formally derived from intermediate 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds or their equivalents. However, the overall reactions are complex, the yields of observed products do not account for all consumed starting materials, and mechanistic ambiguities remain.
