Abstract

The potential of imidazolium ionic liquids as solvents and precatalysts for the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysed preparation of γ-butyrolactones has been investigated. The effect of changing from a molecular solvent to an ionic liquid solvent is examined, as is the organocatalytic efficacy of an ionic liquid derived NHC.
