Deskripsi

Unique tunable aryl imidazolium ionic liquids successfully catalyzed Friedel−Crafts acylation and thioesterification in sealed tubes. These reactions can form a C−C bond and a C−S bond with high atom economy. Ionic liquids exhibited high activity and catalyzed essential reactions with good to excellent yields while retaining their catalytic activities for recycling.
