Preparation of Ionic Liquid-based Vilsmier Reagent from Novel Multi-purpose Dimethyl Formamide-like Ionic Liquid and Its Application

In continuation of research to explore the applied potential of DMF-like ionic liquid, the ionic liquid version of N,N-dimethyliminiumchloride （Vilsmier reagent） has been synthesized from DMF-like ionic liquid and tested effectively for its capacity to achieve more useful organic transformations. The results show that DMF-like ionic liquid is world＇s first task specific ionic liquid which has catalyzed numerous diverse type of reaction and is multipurpose in its application. Thus a new term for this DMF-like ionic liquid has been coined that is DMF-like ＂multipurpose＂ ionic liquid.
