Rational design, synthesis and application of task-specific materials in organic synthesis

In recent years, the subject of green and sustainable chemistry has been accompanied by introducing task-specific materials such as ionic liquids and nanostructured catalyst. Accordingly, in the scope of catalysis science and technology, Brønsted acidic ionic liquids and nanostructured catalyst have been designed to replace solid acids and traditional mineral liquid acids like sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid in chemical procedures. Ionic Liquids (ILs) have been used as solvent, catalyst and reagent. Anion exchange is a subjective way for designing and synthesis of ionic liquids with other anions that cannot be directly prepared. Over the years, much attention has been paid to study the changing the properties of ionic liquids by the exchange of counter ions, which change physical properties such as viscosity, melting point, vapor pressure of fluids and fluorescence properties [1]. Nanoarchitectonics is expected to achieve an effective guidance in fabricating functional nano materials. Nano-orientation of materials is a widely demanding tool in nanoarchitecturing to reach out new task-specific materials with higher surface area. Applications of nano catalysts are some advantages in organic functional groups transformations including (i) high yields, (ii) short reaction times, (iii) low catalyst loading (iv) inexpensive catalysts (v) regioselectivity and (vi) safety of reaction conditions. Thus, there is a great demand for designing and synthesis of easy and safe chemicals and chemical processes [2]. With this aim, our research group has developed the knowledge-based designing, synthesis and application of task-specific novel ionic liquids and nanostructured catalysts for the synthesis of various organic compounds
