Abstract

A new and convenient synthetic pathway to 1,3-di(alkoxy)imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amides and novel 1,3-di(alkoxy)imidazolium tetrachloroferrates was developed. As an intermediate isolation step of the respective hexafluorophosphates was required in previously reported preparations, they suffered from low overall yields and additional expense. The use of FeCl3/HCl resulted in substantially improved yields and allows one-pot preparations with good scalability. Results of single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the new tetrachloroferrate salts are discussed.
