An 8-sulfonamidoquinoline derivative with imidazolium unit as an extraction reagent for use in ionic liquid chelate extraction systems.
To evaluate the superiority of using a task-specific onium salt (TSOS), a novel TSOS reagent 1-methyl-3-[2-(8-quinolinylaminosulfonyl)ethyl]imidazolium chloride (HmimesqCl) was synthesized, and its performance in extraction of different divalent metal cations was investigated. This TSOS reagent has both a cationic imidazolium unit and an anionic (proton-dissociable) complexation unit for the extraction of metal cations into an ionic liquid. In the use of HmimesqCl, relatively high extraction of metals resulted in comparison with the use of its non-imidazolium analogs, without changing the extraction selectivity.
