title: Design of ionic liquid 3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium nitrate as reagent for the nitration of aromatic compounds by in situ generation of NO(2) in acidic media.
abstract: 3-Methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium nitrate ([Msim]NO(3)) as a new Brønsted acidic ionic liquid and nitrating agent was prepared and used for the efficient nitration of aromatic compounds (even aniline derivatives). The dramatic effect of this reagent by in situ generation of nitrogen dioxide as a radical on aromatic compounds to give nitroarenes has been studied.
