Uses
1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Acetate is ionic liquid; used in method for efficiently extracting high purity gutta percha gum based on two-phase ionic liquid and organic solvent.
Uses
1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate is suitable for use as cellulose solvent in the homogeneous conversion of cellulose with acid chlorides, trityl chloride and tosyl chloride. It may be employed as solvent for the synthesis of copolymer of starch grafted with polystyrene (starch-g-PS) and environmentally friendly cellulose films.
Uses
1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate has been used in the preparation of ionic liquid ferrofluid (ILF).

Synthesis
General procedure for the synthesis of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole acetate from lead acetate trihydrate and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole bromide salt: First, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole bromide salt (0.2 mol) and lead (II) acetate trihydrate (0.1 mol) were dissolved in 30 mL and 70 mL of distilled water, respectively. After both were completely dissolved, the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole bromide salt solution was slowly added to the lead (II) acetate trihydrate solution under vigorous mechanical stirring. The reaction was stirred under nitrogen protection at a constant temperature of 35°C for 48 hours. Upon completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was refrigerated at 3 °C for 12 h to promote the formation of a precipitate, which was subsequently removed by filtration. The filtrate was removed from water by distillation under reduced pressure to give the final 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole acetate (EMIMAc), the product was a pale yellow viscous liquid with 0.02% moisture content and 0.004% bromide content in 93% yield.
