Abstract
Hexaethylene glycol bis(3-hexaethylene glycol imidazolium) dimesylate ionic liquid (hexaEG-DHIM) is a highly efficient promoter for the nucleophilic hydroxylation of alkyl halides to the corresponding alcohol products in neat water media. HexaEG-DHIM enhanced the nucleophilicity of water significantly. In addition, the ionic liquid could be reused several times without loss of activity.
