Alkaline hydrolysis of substituted benzyl chloride (BzCl) in ionic liquid [bmim]BF4 is investigated. The presence of the [bmim]BF4, increased the solubility of substituted BzCl in aqueous solutions and increased the selectivity toward the formation of benzyl alcohol. The main advantages of the present procedure are shorter time, higher yields, benignancy to environment and no by-products.

Under conditions of phase-transfer catalysis or in homogeneous solution of potassium tert-butoxide the title compounds give stereoisomeric mixtures of substituted 2,3-epoxy nitriles III and IV. Alkaline hydrolysis of epoxy nitriles IV afforded the corresponding 2-arylpropanals in low yields. On treatment with methanol and potassium carbonate, epoxy nitriles III and IV were converted into epoxy esters in good yields.

1,4-Bis (dimethyl) benzyl octyl ethylene diammonium bromide chloride has been synthesized, characterized and applied as new phase transfer catalyst in the alkaline hydrolysis of PET leading to depolymerisation. The new phase transfer catalyst has been compared with the alkaline hydrolysis of PET using zinc sulfate as catalyst in the depolymerization. It was found that the newly synthesized phase transfer catalyst exhibited excellent conversion than the alkaline hydrolysis of PET using zinc sulfate as catalyst.
