The use of ionic liquids as novel solvents for the synthesis of condensation polymers was investigated. A series of ionic liquids including new ones was synthesized and purified. 1,3‐Dialkylimidazolium‐based ionic liquids seem to be suitable reaction and activating media for the synthesis of high‐molecular‐weight aromatic polyimides and polyamides. Inherent viscosities of the polymers obtained in 1,3‐dialkylimidazolium bromides range from 0.52 to 1.35 dL/g.
