Friedel–Crafts synthesis of triarylmethanes over 3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium tetrachloroaluminate under green conditions:In this work, Friedel–Crafts (FC) alkylation of various arenes with aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by 3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazoliumtetrachloroaluminate {[Msim]AlCl4}, as a green catalyst, to prepare triarylmethanes (TAMs) has been carried out. Some aromatic aldehydes were reacted with arenes containing electron-donor substitutions such as anisole, veratrole, […]
