Solvent-free sonochemical preparation of ionic liquids.
[reaction: see text] An ultrasound-assisted preparation of a series of ambient-temperature ionic liquids, 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium (AMIM) halides, which proceeds via efficient reaction of 1-methyl imidazole with alkyl halides/terminal dihalides under solvent-free conditions, is described.
