Chloroaluminate Ionic Liquid Immobilized on Magnetic Nanoparticles as a Heterogeneous Lewis Acidic Catalyst for the Friedel–Crafts Sulfonylation of Aromatic Compounds
Chloroaluminate ionic liquid bound on magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@O2Si[PrMIM]Cl·AlCl3) was prepared and used as a heterogenous Lewis acidiccatalyst for the Friedel–Crafts sulfonylation of aromatic compounds with sulfonyl chlorides or p-toluenesulfonic anhydride. The catalyst’s stability, efficiency, easy recovery, and high recyclability without considerable loss of catalytic capability after four recycles
