Abstract :
1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloroaluminate, [BMIm]+Al2Cl7−, was used as a solvent as well as a Lewis acid catalyst in Fries rearrangement reactions of phenyl benzoates. The rate of consumption of phenyl benzoate obeyed first-order kinetics. Good yields and high selectivity are the features observed in this unconventional but interesting aprotic solvent.
