This study is focused on the utilization of naturally occurring terpene alc. in the synthesis of ionic liquids (ILs) and their application potential in wood protection. A new series of ILs containing a natural, renewable source of (-)-menthol in the cation and a saccharinate derivative as the anion were obtained with a high yield under mild process conditions. The potential applications of synthesized compounds that belong to surface-active compounds were assessed for wood preservation, and they showed pos. results. Laboratory tests of their activity against fungi and saccharinate-based chiral ionic liquid (CIL) bonding with Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood are described. The biol. results for salts with alkyl substituents ranging from pentyl to octyl chains are very promising, and their activity is similar to, and even higher than, that of the commonly used material benzalkonium chloride. The fungicidal values of saccharinate-based CILs against Coniophora puteana ranged from 2.75 to 4.4 kg m-3 and were lower than those of com. benzalkonium chloride. Moreover, those salts penetrate to some extent into pine wood, which strongly increases their potential for use in wood industries. The attenuated total reflectance IR spectroscopy technique was used to characterize the fixing mechanism of the chiral “sweet” salts in the wood structure, and the CIL penetration depth into Scots pine wood was tested. These results were completed with the surface properties of the investigated saccharinates, the surface tension measurements, and contact angles of ILs on wood. The corrosiveness study of imidazolium saccharinate salt showed low aggressiveness against carbon steel, moreover, lower than that of IL with nitrate anion, didecyldimethylammonium nitrate, and com. used benzalkonium chloride. The incorporation of a saccharinate anion into the IL structure may eliminate this unfavorable property of com. protective agents based on ILs. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-Octyl-1H-imidazole (cas: 21252-69-7Category: imidazoles-derivatives).
1-Octyl-1H-imidazole (cas: 21252-69-7) belongs to imidazole derivatives. 1H-imidazole is an imidazole tautomer which has the migrating hydrogen at position 1. It is a conjugate base of an imidazolium cation. It is a conjugate acid of an imidazolide. It is a tautomer of a 4H-imidazole. Imidazole based anticancer drug find applications in cancer chemotherapy. It is used as buffer component for purification of the histidine tagged recombinant proteins in immobilized metal-affinity chromatography (IMAC).Category: imidazoles-derivatives
