Efficient synthesis of symmetrical phthalate and maleate diesters using phosphinite ionic liquids

Symmetrical dialkyl phthalates and maleates were synthesized using phosphinite ionic liquid as a catalyst and reaction medium. The results indicated that phosphinite ionic liquid shows better catalytic and reusable performance without using any acid or base catalyst. Under the optimum conditions, using 1-methyl-3-(4-phosphinitebutyl) imidazolium chloride as catalyst, the conversion of phthalic and maleic anhydrides to the corresponding diesters of primary and secondary alcohols was occurred in 72-85% yields. The diesters of tertiary alcohols and phenols could not be prepared by this method. A kind of widely used plasticizer, dioctyl phthalate, was prepared in good yield under these conditions. The ionic liquid could be reused three times after easy separation from the products without any disposal. Iranian Chemical Society 2012.
