Abstract
Ionic liquids are often used together with dichloromethane in different reactions. This combination can be problematic because the use of ionic liquids with a carboxylic acid as an anion and dichloromethane can lead to the formation of methylene diesters. The reaction of trioctylmethylammonium benzoate with dichloromethane was studied, where the ionic liquid acted as reactant, solvent and catalyst. The molecular structure of methylene dibenzoate was determined by X-ray crystallography.
Keywords: Dichloromethane, Ionic liquids, Metilenedibenzoates, Synthesis, X-ray Diffraction, Trioctylmethylammonium benzoate, Methylene dibenzoate, Transesterification, Cyclohexane, Biphasic hydrogenation systems

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
