Synergistic Effect of Brønsted and Lewis Acids in Aromatic Alkylation Catalyzed by Chloroaluminate Ionic Liquids
Chloroaluminate Ionic Liquids (CILs) are highly effective catalysts for the alkylation of aromatics with long-chain olefins, yet the individual and synergistic effects of Brønsted and Lewis acid species remain contentious. Herein, 1-methylnaphthalene and 1-decene are used as model compounds to elucidate the synergi...
