ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cattod.2012.02.063 | Abstract: | Trihexyl (tetradecyl) phosphonium tetrafluoroborate was found to be an active catalyst for the introduction of fluoride by nucleophilic aromatic substitution. With a decomposition temperature above 300 °C, this ionic liquid is suitable for reactions at high temperatures. The addition of 1 mol% of the ionic liquid relative to KF increased the initial rate for the fluorination of 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene six-fold compared to the uncatalysed reaction. The highest reaction rate was observed at 20 mol% ionic liquid relative to KF. Ease of handling without the need for stringent drying conditions and reuseability make this ionic liquid a useful phase transfer catalyst. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. | Source Title: | Catalysis Today | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/76746 | ISSN: | 09205861 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.cattod.2012.02.063 |
