The aim of this work was to synthesize chiral ionic liquids as chiral solvents for organic synthesisand to evaluate the phyto(eco)toxicity of the new products and starting N-alkylimidazoles and theirpotential environmental influence on soil and plants. Chiral ionic liquids containing anions such asCl-, Br-, TsO-, PF6-, NO3-, CF3SO3-, and (+)- and (-)-C6H5CH(OH)C(O)O- were synthesized using(-)-(1R)-6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-ene-2-ethyl [(-)-(1R)-nopyl] halides (X = Cl, Br) and tosylatein 62-100% yields. The chloride 7 and the nitrate 13 ionic liquids possessed a toxicity dependent onthe applied concentration. The lowest concentration causing a distinct reduction in plant germination/growth was 100 mg/kg. Spring barley better tolerated the ionic liquids (200 mg/kg) than commonradish (100 mg/kg). The nitrate liquid did not exhibit an inhibiting effect on the germination ability ofseeds. The starting N-methylimidazole used in lower concentrations (1 and 10 mg/kg of soil dry weight)was not phytotoxic, in contrast to higher doses (>1000 mg/kg).
