A basic site can be described in terms of its ability to accept a proton (Bronsted base) or to donate electrons (Lewis base). In order for base-catalysed reactions to occur, the basicity must be sufficient to stabilise an anionic or polarised species with a significant negative charge that forms part of the catalytic cycle. For a typical base-catalysed C-C bond formation reaction (such as a Michael addition or the Knoevenagel condensation (Scheme 9.18)), the basic site stabilises the intermediate carbanion, which can then act as a nucleophile in the C-C bond formation. Surface sites on MgO are typical strong basic sites. 

Whereas the Lewis acid-base theory does not contradict Bronsted theory, as "bases" in Bronsted theory must have a pair of nonbonding electrons in order to accept a proton, it expands the family of compounds that can be called "acids" any compound that has one or more empty valence-shell orbital and provides an explanation for the instantaneous reaction of boron triflouride (BF3) with ammonia (NH3). The nonbonding electrons on the nitrogen in NH3 are donated into an empty orbital on the boron to form a new covalent bond, as shown in Eq. 13. 

Abstract This chapter presents the design and analysis of the microscopic features of binary solvent systems formed by ionic liquids, particularly room temperature ionic liqnids with molecular solvents. Protic ionic liquids, ethylammonium nitrate and l-n-butyl-3-methylmidazohum (bmim)-based ILs, were selected considering the differences in their hydrogen-bond donor acidity. The molecular solvents chosen were aprotic polar (acetonitrile, dimethylsulphoxide and MA(-dimethylformide) and protic (different alcohols). The empirical solvatochromic parameters n, a and P were employed in order to analyse the behaviour of each binary solvent system. The study focuses on the identification of solvent mixtures of relevant solvating properties to propose them as new solvents . Kinetic study of aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions carried out in this type of solvent systems is also presented. On the other hand, this is considered as a new approach on protic ionic liquids. Ethylammonium nitrate can act as both Bronsted acid and/or nucleophile. Two reactions (aromatic nucleophilic substitution and nncleophilic addition to aromatic aldehydes) were considered as model reactions. 

Cleavage of sn—H bonds in both acidic and basic environments has been studied by Kuivila and Dessy and their co-workers. For Bu3SnH in methanol the process involves general acid catalysis, with a Bronsted a = 0.85 [232a). Further studies appear to be necessary in order to distinguish between several possible transition states. Base-catalyzed reaction under these conditions seems to involve...
