title: Synthesis of chiral ionic liquids from natural amino acids.
abstract: For the first time, chiral imidazolium ionic liquids containing one chiral carbon (10a-c) were synthesized from the natural amino acids by a simple and straightforward procedure. The characteristics of the chiral ILs are very similar to the popular ionic liquids.
