- Description
- The synthesis of N-substituted-1,8-naphthalimides is accelerated in the presence of the room temperature ionic liquid [BMIM][NO₃]. Reaction times are reduced from 18 h in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (PhCH₃, EtOH and THF) to 20 min in the ionic liquid [BMIM][NO₃]. The reaction yields are typically increased to >85% and the products are isolated by ethanol-mediated precipitation direct from the ionic liquid, requiring no further purification.
