Claims12
A process for carrying out a chemical reaction which is catalysed by one or more metal or hydrogen fluoroalkylsulfonylated compound which process comprises carrying out said reaction in the presence of an ionic liquid or in solvent-free conditions.
A process according to any one of the preceding claims wherein M is a metal selected from the metals in groups 1 to 16 and the lanthanides and the actinides.
A process according to any one of the preceding claims wherein the chemical reaction is one of:
- (a) an electrophillic substitution reaction, or
- (b) an isomerisation, polymerisation or rearrangement of a chemical compound or molecule.
A process according to any one of the preceding claims which comprises carrying out said reaction in solvent free conditions wherein the one or more metal or hydrogen fluoroalkylsulfonylated compound is added directly to the reactants.
A process according to any one of the preceding claims which comprises carrying out the reaction in the presence of an ionic liquid which comprises dissolving or suspending the one or more metal or hydrogen fluoroalkylsulfonylated compound in an ionic liquid.
A process according to any one of the preceding claims wherein the catalyst or the catalyst and ionic liquid combination are subsequently separated from the reaction mixture.
