Reduction of Epoxides Compounds by Treated Clay

In this project, organoclay was prepared by ion exchange of the ionic liquid,۱-hexyl-۳methyl-immidazolium chloride (HMIM[Cl]), into clay interlayers as a new organic–inorganichybrid catalytic system. HMIM[Cl] treated clay has been characterized by FT-IR and TGAanalysis and used as a heterogeneous catalyst and microvessel in the ring opening reaction ofepoxides.
