A versatile, cheaper, silver and water-free metathesis reaction was developed for imidazolium, phosphonium and pyrrolidinium based ionic liquids (ILs) associated with different anions such as dicyanamide, thiocyanate, tetrafluoroborate and bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide. This route, using the melt of amine chloride as a solvent and reagent, favours the ion exchange reaction using anion salts of Na or Li, yielding ionic ...
