Abstract
The solvolytic rate constants of 2-adamantyl p-toluenesulfonate were determined in [BMIM][BF4] in the presence/absence of 2,6-lutidine by NMR measurements. The activation parameters suggest that the reaction proceeded by kc mechanism. The solvolysis quantitatively gave 2-adamantanol as a product by the reaction with the water present in the ionic liquid. The solvent ionizing power of [BMIM][BF4] was found to be similar to that of ethanol.
