Abstract

Four novel Brønsted acidic ionic liquids with two different acid sites on the imidazolium cations were synthesised and employed as catalysts and solvents for the ring-opening of cyclic anhydrides to synthesise half-esters. The results showed that these novel Brønsted acidic ionic liquids were efficient and recyclable. Good yields, short reaction times and mild reaction conditions were achieved.
