Description

MilliporeSigma Sigma Organics products encompass a wide range of quality reagents, solvents, catalysts, and building blocks for organic synthesis. From benchtop discovery to process development and scale-up, Sigma Organics solutions are built to meet the needs of synthetic chemists.

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate is an imidazolium-based, hydrophobic, room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL). It can be prepared by reacting 1-methylimidazole with chlorobutane. Gaseous hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) such as fluoromethane, fluoroethane and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane are soluble in BMIMPF6.1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate is an ionic liquid employed in many environmentally friendly reactions. It can also be used as a medium for reactions such as: Ring-closing metathesis of diene and enyne substrates in the presence of a novel recyclable ruthenium carbene complex.Nickel(II)acetylacetonate catalyzed oxidation of aromatic aldehydes to the corresponding acids using dioxygen as the oxidant.Lipase-catalyzed enantioselective acylation of allylic alcohols.Allylation of aldehydes using tetraallylstannane to yield homoallylic alcohols.
