TL;DR: In homogeneous H(2)O/solvent medium, the reaction rate of aromatic aldehydes and acrylonitrile or acrylate was greatly accelerated, which led to shorter reaction time, lower reaction temperature, and higher yield.

TL;DR: In this paper, the activity coefficients at infinite dilution γ i ∞ of the linear and branched C 1 to C 6 alcohols, acetone, acetonitrile, ethylacetate, alkylethers, and chloromethanes in the ionic liquid 4-methyl-N -butyl-pyridinium tetrafluoroborate (C 10 H 16 BF 4 N) were determined by gas chromatography.

TL;DR: The most convenient source of anhydrous iron(II) triflate is the acetonitrile solvate isolated from the reaction of finely divided iron metal with triflic acid in acetonihydrate.
Abstract: The most convenient source of anhydrous iron(II) triflate is the acetonitrile solvate isolated from the reaction of finely divided iron metal with triflic acid in acetonitrile. The cyrstalline Fe(MeCN)4(OTf)2 readily loses two MeCN molecules under vacuum to afford Fe(OTf)2·2MeCN, which is stable to air oxidation but absorbs water. Crystals of the hexahydrate containing a hydrogen-bonded, layered structure are obtained from water.
