The reaction of triphenylphosphine or N-butylimidazole with cyclic sultones gives zwitterions that are subsequently converted into ionic liquids by reaction with trifluoromethane sulfonic acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid. The resulting ionic liquids have cations to which are tethered alkane sulfonic acid groups. These Bronsted acidic ionic liquids are useful solvent/catalysts for several organic reactions, including Fischer esterification, alcohol dehydrodimerization and the pinacol rearrangement. The new ionic liquids combine the low volatility and ease of separation from product normally associated with solid acid catalysts, with the higher activity and yields normally found using conventional liquid acids.

Bronsted acidic ionic liquids, supported on silica gel, have been used effectively in oligomerisation of isobutene. The supported catalysts could be used several times without loss of activity or change in selectivity. The ratio of the products could be influenced by the proper choice of the ionic liquid component of the catalyst and the reaction temperature.

Methyl glycolate (MG), as a precursor to ethylene glycol (EG), was synthesized by an efficient and eco-friendly procedure of one-pot, two-step, sequential reaction, including carbonylation and esterification from HCHO with Broensted acidic ionic liquids (BAILs) as catalysts. MG was obtained in high yield under mild conditions. In addition, the catalyst could be recycled eight times after separating the unreacted materials and products from the reaction system by distillation under vacuum and no significant decrease in catalytic activity was observed.
