Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of compound synthesis technology, specifically to the preparation of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic bisfluorosulfonyl imide salts. Background Technology
[0002] The development of next-generation energy devices such as batteries, fuel cells, and solar cells depends on the research and application of novel electrolyte materials. These materials can overcome the technical problems of current commercial electrolytes, such as safety and flammability. Ionic liquids and organic ionic plastic crystals are potential candidates for safe and durable electrolytes due to their high thermal stability and negligible vapor pressure. Recently, studies have found that nitrogen-containing heterocyclic bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide salt derivatives possess rapid ion transport, high electrochemical properties, thermal stability, non-volatility, and non-flammability. When combined with lithium or sodium salts, their ionic conductivity can be increased by several orders of magnitude. Furthermore, their flexible mechanical properties can minimize the problem of poor contact between the electrolyte and the electrode under volume expansion. Therefore, developing synthetic methods for nitrogen-containing heterocyclic bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide salt derivatives is of great significance and urgently needed.
[0003] Currently, there are few reported synthetic routes for nitrogen-containing heterocyclic bisfluorosulfonyl imide salts. For example, the literature "Ionic liquids and plastic crystals utilising the oxazolidinium cation: the effect of ether functionality in the ring" describes the preparation of a bromide intermediate by reflux reaction of 3-methyloxazolidine and bromoethane in ethyl acetate, followed by dissolution in water and dropwise addition to an aqueous solution of potassium bisfluorosulfonyl imide. The reaction is carried out overnight at room temperature, water is removed by vacuum evaporation, the product in the concentrate is dissolved in ethanol, filtered, the filtrate is concentrated to obtain a crude product, which is then washed with cold water overnight to precipitate a solid. This solid is filtered, the filter cake is dried under vacuum, washed again with pentane, and then dried under vacuum to obtain the final product, 3-methyl-3-ethyl-oxazolidine bisfluorosulfonyl imide. This preparation method involves many reaction steps, complex procedures, cumbersome operation, low product yield, and high costs for raw materials, equipment, and waste, making it unsuitable for industrial production.
