Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of fine chemicals, and in particular relates to a method for preparing trifluoromethanesulfonate ionic liquid. Background Art

[0002] Ionic liquids, also known as room temperature ionic liquids, room temperature molten salts, or organic ionic liquids, are salts composed of organic cations and inorganic anions that are liquid at temperatures below 100°C. Most ionic liquids are liquid at or near room temperature. There are various classifications of ionic liquids. Based on the cation, they can be categorized as imidazole, pyridinium, pyrrole, quaternary ammonium, and quaternary phosphonium. Based on the anion, they can be further divided into metallic and non-metallic types. Furthermore, based on the functionalities they possess, ionic liquids can be further subdivided into polymeric ionic liquids, acid-functionalized ionic liquids, base-functionalized ionic liquids, chiral-functionalized ionic liquids, and metal-functionalized ionic liquids.

[0003] As emerging green materials, ionic liquids are widely used. Currently, the global ionic liquid market is primarily focused on applications in electrochemistry, catalysis, synthesis and extraction, separation engineering, and green solvents. Trifluoromethanesulfonate ionic liquids, in particular, have attracted significant attention due to their excellent properties, including low volatility, non-flammability, and high thermal stability. The preparation of trifluoromethanesulfonate imine ionic liquids is of significant significance.

[0004] As an emerging green material, ionic liquids have a wide range of applications.
