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...
