A slight excess of methanesulfonic acid (10% v/v) was required to facilitate the reaction, which was applied to a variety of thiols. Aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic aromatic thiols were converted to their corresponding DPM thioethers in high yields (63–99%), in short reaction times (5–20 min) and using mild temperatures (80–100 °C). Finally, the pIL (TeaMS) was recycled five times without loss of yield.
