Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the stability and reactivity of 1-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (PYRRO/NO) in dimethylformamide (DMF, as the reference solvent) and compare them to those obtained using different ionic liquids. The results of our experiments showed that PYRRO/NO is more stable (based on reactivity) in ionic liquid [EMIM][Ms] (with reaction yields up to 52%) than in DMF, that substitution products can be separated directly and quantitatively from the ionic liquid using a single flash-column separation, and that the ionic liquids can also be recovered and reused in a second iteration of the same reaction to achieve similar yields.
