Abstract
9
Chiral ionic liquids (CILs) have shown a wide range of applications in variety of domains in
10
chemistry. Because of this, synthesis and applications of CILs have always been areas of
11
interest for research in the last 20 years. Present work describes, the synthesis of six
12
carbohydrate based chiral ionic liquids (CCILs) by following simple procedures and their
13
applications. Structures of the CCILs were confirmed through various analytical techniques
14
like NMR spectroscopy (1H,
15
were tested as chiral recognising agents using sodium salt of Mosher’s acid as model
16
substrate through 19F NMR spectroscopy. Further, CCILs were used as organocatalyst in the
17
enantioselective reduction of aromatic prochiral ketones to achieve corresponding chiral
18
secondary alcohols.

1. Introduction
36
Chiral ionic liquids are a sub-class of ionic liquids which possess similar properties like low
37
melting and boiling points, negligible vapour pressure, high thermal stability, electrical
38
conductivity and reusability [1-5]. CILs can be synthesized by two methods: asymmetric
39
synthesis and natural chiral pool (carbohydrates, amino acids, amino alcohols, alkaloids etc.)
40
[6-8]. Carrying such distinct properties, CILs play major role in wide range of applications
41
such as chiral recognition [9-10], organocatalysis [11-12], background electrolytes in
42
capillary electrophoresis [13-15], stationary phase additives in liquid and gas chromatography
43
[16-17], high performance liquid chromatography [18-19], liquid-liquid extraction [20] and
44
stereoselective polymerization [21-22]. Nowadays, chiral molecular recognition and
45
asymmetric organocatalysis are the two most intensively analysed applications of CILs [23-
46
24]. Both the terms include ‘chirality’ in their meanings and are highly useful for the
47
separation and synthesis of numerous essential enantioselective compounds. Different
48
mechanisms are followed by both the processes to obtain single enantiomer in major amount
49
of the product. Chiral recognition is observed due to the formation of diastereomeric complex
50
between CIL (host) and enantiomers of racemic salt (guest) [25]. According to A. Berthod,
51
chiral recognition involves ‘three point interaction’ model. This model predicts the attractive
52
or repulsive interactions of three groups of the chiral centre with enantiomers of racemic
53
moiety [26]. Different types of non-covalent molecular interactions are generated between the
54
host and guest molecules like electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, π − π
55
interactions, van der waals forces and hydrophobic interactions which help in the separation
56
of enantiomers [27]. Several spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques are available to
57
check the separation of enantiomers of the molecules such as NMR spectroscopy,
58
fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, HPLC, gas chromatography, capillary
59
electrophoresis, capillary electrochromatography, micellar chromatography, supercritical
60
chromatography etc. [28]. Among these, NMR spectroscopy is the easiest and the most
61
reliable technique to determine the separation and enantiopurity of the compound by just
62
observing the chemical shift of the corresponding peaks. Chiral recognition through NMR
63
spectroscopy is based on two main approaches: the use of chiral solvating agent (CSA) and
64
enantiopure chiral derivatizing agent [29].
65
In the present report, CILs have been synthesized from derivative of D-galactose and 1,4-
66
Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), further these CILs have been employed as chiral
67
recognising agents for the enantiodifferentiation of sodium salt of Mosher’s acid and as
68
organocatalyst in the enantioselective reduction reactions of prochiral ketones. Galactose was 2
69
used as precursor for the preparation of CILs because it is abundantly present in nature,
70
thermally stable, easy to handle and number of chiral centres are present in its structure. The
71
synthesized CILs are advantageous in terms of easy availability of chiral carbohydrate
72
precursors, excellent yields, moderate reaction conditions and remarkable applications.
73
Separation of the enantiomers were analysed through
74
enantiomeric excess of the obtained secondary alcohols was determined by gas
75
chromatography.

2. Experimental
77
2.1 Materials and methods
78
All the chemicals: D-galactose (spectrochem), ZnCl2, imidazole, iodine (Alfa aesar),
79
triphenylphosphine, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) (Sigma-Aldrich), NaBF4, KPF6,
80
NaBrCH2CH2SO3, NaCF3SO3, NaSbF6 (Sigma-Aldrich), were purchased from commercial
81
suppliers and are of high purity. Acetone was dried over molecular sieves of pore size 0.3nm.
82
Formation of the product was analysed through pre-coated Merck TLC silica gel 60 sheets.
83
Then characterization of the obtained products was done through 1H,
84
NMR spectroscopy on Bruker Avance II, 400 MHz NMR spectrometer. Mass of the
85
synthesized compounds were analysed on Shimadzu GCMS-QP 2010 Ultra in EI mode.
86
Optical activity of the synthesized CILs was recorded on Anton Paar polarimeter MCP 500 at
87
589 nm wavelength at room temperature. As the CILs were solid in nature, so their melting
88
points or decomposition temperatures were taken on digital melting point apparatus and
89
reported uncorrected. In application part of chiral recognition, 19F NMR was recorded on 400
90
MHz JEOL JNM ECS400 and BRUKER AVANCE NEO 500MHz NMR spectrometer.
91
Enantiomeric excess of the optically active secondary alcohols were analysed on Shimadzu
92
GCMS-QP 2010 Ultra in split mode using Rt-βDEXsm column (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25
93
µm) using FID as detector.

Protection of the hydroxyl groups in carbohydrate chemistry is a common trend with various
97
protecting groups. Similarly, here in this report, secondary ‘OH’ groups were protected by
98
acetone using ZnCl2 in the presence of H2SO4 as catalyst, by following the procedure
99
described in the literature [30].

2.6 General procedure for the enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones
174
Prochiral ketones (1mmol) were dissolved in a solution of 10 ml methanol. 10 mol% of CIL
175
was added to the above solution and stirred. Sodium borohydride (1.5mmol) was added in
176
portions over a period of 15 mins. The stirring was continued for 2-3 h and then the mixture
177
was extracted with dichloromethane/diethyl ether. Then, the organic layer was dried over
178
Na2SO4 and evaporates it on rotary evaporator to get the product [33]. Enantiomeric excess of
179
the alcohols was determined through GC.*

2.7 Procedure for the chiral recognition using Mosher’s acid salt
204
0.013 mmol (4.6 mg) of sodium salt of Mosher’s acid was dissolved in acetonitrile (1ml) with
205
0.027 mmol (13 mg) of CIL 3. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h, so that anions get
206
exchanged. The solvent was filtered and evaporated. Residual was dissolved in CDCl3 and
207
analysed by NMR [34].
208
3. Results and discussion
209
A new series of carbohydrate based chiral ionic liquids have been synthesized with highly
210
nucleophilic amine, i.e., 1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, under mild conditions. D-galactose
211
was used as an initiator for the synthesis of the desired CILs. In the first step, four secondary
212
hydroxyl groups of D-galactose were protected by acetone in presence of ZnCl2 and H2SO4 to
213
give (1). The primary ‘OH’ group of (1) was then replaced with iodide to give (2) which on
214
quaternization with a strong nucleophilic amine DABCO (Scheme 1) to gain CCIL (3). CCIL
215
(3) was then led to anion metathesis reaction with various sodium and potassium salts of
216
inorganic compounds to give CCILs 4-8. All the ILs was solid in nature, possessed nice
217
yields, had high decomposition temperatures, and was non-racemic in nature. Composition
218
and stability of all the CCILs were confirmed through various analytical techniques like 1H,
219
13
220
was detected through polarimetery. All the data has been provided in the supplementary

All the important physical properties of the CCILs (3-8) have been displayed in Table 1.
225
There is little bit variation in the 1H spectra of all the CCILs, peaks corresponding to NCH2-
226
CH(on galactose ring). As observed in 1H spectra of the ILs with anion I- and SbF6-, the peaks 7
227
get merged and give multiplet but in rest of the cases, they are notified separately. It is also
228
possible that these protons might be helpful in chiral recognition application of sodium salt of
229
Mosher’s acid using CCILs as host.

3.1 Application of chiral recognition using Mosher’s acid salt with CCIL (3)
240
CCILs were tested as chiral recognizing agents using sodium salt of Mosher’s acid as analyte.
241
CCIL (3) and Mosher’s salt were mixed in acetonitrile for the anion exchange process for 12
242
h. Residual was dissolved in deuterated CHCl3 and analysed through 19F NMR. To check the
8
243
optimal amount of CCIL required for the recognition property, a variable amount of CCIL
244
was added against the constant amount of Mosher’s acid sodium salt. Data has been provided
245
in Table 2 and
246
the CCIL increased from 8 equiv. to 10 equiv., the magnitude of the splitting decreased from
247
25Hz to 20 Hz and no splitting was observed at lower concentrations of CIL.

251
Chiral recognition property and magnitude of the splitting exhibited by the CILs may also
252
depend upon the anion attached with cationic moiety, as evidenced from the literature that Cl,
253
BF4- and PF6- anions form strong ionic pairs with the guest and provide more
254
enantiodifferentiation than the other anions [35]. Second important reason behind chiral
255
recognition property may be the presence of aromatic ring in the host and guest which gives
256
magnetic anisotropic effect, provide π − π interactions and helps in separation of the
257
enantiomers of the guest [27]. Fig 2 demonstrates the chiral recognition mechanism in terms
258
of the different diastereomeric interactions between the CIL and the racemic Mosher’s acid
259
analyte.

3.2 Application of CCIL (3) as organocatalyst in asymmetric reduction reactions:
263
A number of reports are available in which CILs have been used as organocatalysts and
264
achieved high enantiomeric excess in many important reactions of organic chemistry like 9
265
Baylis-Hillman, Michael Addition, Diels-Alder, Aldol condensation etc. [36]. Similarly, here
266
in the present article, CCIL (3) was used as organocatalyst in the asymmetric reduction of
267
aromatic prochiral ketones to synthesize corresponding enantioselective secondary alcohols.
268
Products were obtained in high yields and produced low to moderate enantiomeric excess as
269
shown in Table 3. Procedure for the synthesis of enantioselective secondary alcohols, using
270
various substrates can be easily described from Scheme 2 shown below.

Above table reveals that racemic to moderate enantiomeric excess has been obtained,
279
acetophenone produced higher ee% than the other ketones and 4-methylacetophenone was
280
obtained as a racemic mixture, this trend in the enantioselectivity has already been described
281
in literature also [37-38]. But the yield of the secondary alcohols was good in all the cases.
282
4. Conclusions
283
It is concluded that carbohydrate-based chiral ionic liquids were synthesized using DABCO
284
as quaternizing agent. Synthesized chiral salts were employed as a chiral recognising agent
285
and as organocatalyst and they perform nicely in both the applications. Precursors used for
286
their synthesis part are natural and present abundantly in nature. So, they can be readily
287
prepared and can replace the expensive enantiodifferentiating agents and organocatalysts in
288
future.
