Physical Properties of [BPy] [L-Pro] Chiral Ionic Liquids with Asymmetric Catalytic Performance

A pyridine-containing chiral ionic liquid [BPy][L-Pro] with an amino acid as the anion was synthesized, and its synthesis process is very simple with 86.6% yield and 97% purity. Some important physical properties including specific rotation, refractive index, conductivity and density of [BPy][L-Pro] have been comprehensively determined. The dependence of main properties of the [BPy][L-Pro] aqueous solution at different concentrations and temperatures was also explored and fitted, which can provide useful information for its asymmetric catalytic application.
