Abstract

Abstract Alkylpyridinium (10a, R= Me and 10b, R= Et) and tetraalkylphosphonium (19) ionic liquids which possess ether functionality were prepared and evaluated as solvents and co- solvents for Grignard reactions. Interestingly, reduction of the starting aldehydes to the corresponding primary alcohol was the favored pathway when reactions were conducted in pyridinium ILs 10a, b in the absence an ethereal co-solvent. However, the same reactions ...
