infrared spectroscopic studies of the Friedel-Crafts acetylation of benzene in ionic liquids using AlCl and FeCl

infrared spectroscopic studies have revealed that the mechanism of the Friedel-Crafts acetylation of benzene is exactly the same in ionic liquids as in 1,2-dichloroethane. The reaction of acetyl chloride with benzene in the presence of MCl (M = Al or Fe) in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazoli...

Summary:infrared spectroscopic studies have revealed that the mechanism of the Friedel-Crafts acetylation of benzene is exactly the same in ionic liquids as in 1,2-dichloroethane. The reaction of acetyl chloride with benzene in the presence of MCl (M = Al or Fe) in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, ([bmim]Cl), leads to the formation of several key intermediates including the MCl adducts of the acetyl chloride, the acetylium ion [CHCO][MCl], and the final product, the MCl adduct of acetophenone.
