The Friedel-Crafts acylations of representative aromatic compounds with acetic anhydride in pyridinium based ionic liquids (ILs) were investigated. The effect of factors such as reactant composition, catalyst-IL composition, catalyst dosage and reaction temperature were studied. The reactions were found to proceed under relatively mild conditions with excellent conversions; and a simple product isolation procedure was achieved. ILs could also be recycled and reused effectively, thus rendering green characteristic to this reaction.
Graphical abstractThe Friedel-Crafts acylations of representative aromatics was studied in pyridinium based ionic liquids (ILs). Suitable reaction conditions were developed in these ‘environmentally friendly’ medium. The ILs could also be recycled and reused effectively.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
