Abstract
Abstract 4- and 5-methyl thiazole are readily alkylated with n-butyl bromide followed by anion exchange of Br − for BF 4 − to give mobile, room-temperature ionic liquids. These liquids, when treated with small quantities of triethylamine, serve to promote the benzoin condensation of benzaldehyde.
