Metal bis[trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]amide complexes: highly efficient Friedel-Crafts acylation catalysts.
A range of metal bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]amide complexes, including many unreported ones, have been synthesised, most of which have been found to be excellent Friedel-Crafts acylation catalysts in the absence of solvent; these reactions have also been carried out in ionic liquids, which allow the catalysts to be recycled and reused.
