Abstract

(S)-Histidine is shown to be a powerful chiral precursor for the construction of a new series of imidazolium-containing chiral ionic liquids, in which the chiral bifunctional unit of the aminoacid remains unchanged. These ionic materials can be used as building blocks for the synthesis of peptidic ionic liquids.
