title: Synthesis of unsymmetrical imidazolium salts by direct quaternization of N-substituted imidazoles using arylboronic acids.
abstract: Imidazolium salts were conveniently prepared by direct aryl quaternization using arylboronic acids. This process features the tolerance of a broad range of functional groups and excellent chemoselectivity, and is especially effective for the synthesis of unsymmetrical imidazolium salts.
