The syntheses of two perdeuterated ionic liquids (ILs), which have found use as solvents for cellulose derivatization and processing in addition, are described: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIM-OAc-d14) and 1-butyl–3-methylimidazolium acetate (BMIM-OAc-d18). The targets were obtained from imidazole in three-step sequences starting with butylation and ethylation, respectively. The resulting 1-alkyl imidazoles were purified, and subsequently methylated according to a novel protocol using dimethylcarbonate-d6. To obtain the 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium moiety, methylation of 1-alkylimidazoles proved to be superior to the conventional approach of alkylating 1-methylimidazole. Addition of acetic acid-d4 caused traceless degradation of the methylcarbonate counter anions, which were neatly exchanged for acetate. The IL 2-13C-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, in which the isotopically enriched C-2 is a good NMR-indicator of side reactions and solvent–solute interactions, was synthesized according to the same reaction sequence, starting from 2-13C-1-alkylimidazole which, in turn, was obtained by reaction of glyoxale, alkylamine, ammonia and paraformaldehyde-13C.
