title: Metal and H2O2 free aerobic oxidative aromatic halogenation with [RNH3(+)] [NO3(-)]/HX and [BMIM(SO3H)][NO3)x(X)y] (X = Br, Cl) as multifunctional ionic liquids.
abstract: Novel multifunctional ionic liquids (ILs) are generated by addition of HBr or HCl to alkylammonium nitrates ([RNH3(+)] [NO3(-)]) and to 3-methyl-1-(butyl-4-sulfonyl)imidazolium nitrate ([BMIM(SO3H)][NO3]). The resulting [RNH3(+)] [NO3(-)]/HX and mono (3-methyl-1-(butyl-4-sulfonyl)imidazolium) monohalogenide mononitrate ([BMIM(SO3H)][NO3)x(X)y] (X = Br, Cl)) systems act as solvent and promoter for aerobic oxidative halogenation of arenes under mild conditions in high yields that can be repeated over several cycles.
