Publication number: 20120157680Abstract: PROBLEM: Providing a novel ionic liquid, which is low-cost, environment-friendly, and has low viscosity and melting point. MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM: The present invention is the invention of the ionic liquid represented by the general formula [1]: {wherein, R1 to R3 and n pieces of R4 each independently represent hydrogen atom or alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R5 to R7 each independently represent alkyl group, aralkyl group, or aryl group, R8 represents alkyl group, aralkyl group, aryl group, or the one represented by the general formula [2]: (wherein T represents alkylene chain having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, n represents 1 or 2, and R1 to R7 are the same as the above-described), X represents nitrogen atom or phosphorus atom, n represents 1 or 2. When n is 1, R3 and R4 are bound and may form cyclohexene ring together with the adjacent carbon atoms. In addition, when X is nitrogen atom, R5 to R7 or R5 to R6 may form hetero ring with nitrogen atom binding thereto}.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2010Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicant: Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Tsutomu Watahiki, Kuniaki Okamoto, Motoshige Sumino
