| | 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate Usage And Synthesis |
| description | 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, also known as BMIM-PF6, is a viscous, colourless, hydrophobic and non-water-soluble ionic liquid with a melting point[1] of -8 °C. Together with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, BMIM-BF4, it is one of the most widely studied ionic liquids. It is known to very slowly decompose in the presence of water.
| | Uses | 1-n-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate is an ionic liquid used for various reactions such as hydrogenations, asymmetric hydrogenations proceed in higher enantioselectivity than in homogeneous phase. It is also used in Suzuki cross-coupling.
| | solubility | Miscible with acetone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol and methylene chloride. Immiscible with hexane, toluene and water.
| | Physical properties | Clear yellowish-orange oil
| | Uses | 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate may be used as an extractant for the removal of dibenzothiophene (DBS) from liquid fuels via extractive desulfurization. | | Uses | Solvent for organic reactions. | | Uses | 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM]BF4) can be used:??
