A practical electrochemical strategy for the direct synthesis of arenesulfonylfluorides from industrial feedstock nitroarenes is described. The key to success lies in using a cheap ionic liquid N-methylimidazolium p-toluenesulfonate ([Mim]TolSO3) as an effective additive and electrolyte to facilitate the selective reduction of nitroarenes to the corresponding aniline intermediate, promoting the desired
