Abstract
Bismuth trifluoromethanesulfonate (bismuth triflate) catalyzed the Friedel-Crafts benzoylation of activated aromatic compounds when dissolved in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([BMIM]OTf) ionic liquid. Immobilization of bismuth triflate (5 mol %) in [BMIM]OTf allowed the synthesis of aryl ketones in good to excellent yields with short reaction times under microwave irradiation. This catalytic system was easily recovered and reused several times without any significant loss of the activity.
