Metal-chloroglynate ionic liquids: Catalytic application for friedel-crafts [F–C] reactions

Friedel–Crafts acylation of benzene derivatives in tunable aryl alkyl ionic liquids (TAAILs)

“…Successive research for the Friedel-Crafts acylation lead to the development of various reaction protocols using different metal salts [25][26][27][28][29][30] and ionic liquids [31][32][33][34][35] to acylate [36][37][38][39][40][41], alkylate [42][43][44], benzylate [45][46][47] and alkenylate [48,49] different benzene derivatives. But surprisingly, a robust protocol using commercially available and cost-efficient metal salts in a water and air stable ionic liquid is still hard to find [50,51].…”
