Abstract
A series of pyrrolidinium-based salts with new fluorine-containing anions were synthesized. Different melting points could be obtained by changing the length of the fluoroalkyl chain of the anions. The pyrrolidinium 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-2-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)ethanesulfonate ([C 4H 8NH 2][H(CF 2) 4O(CF 2) 2SO 3]) is highly fluid even below room temperature. It can be used both as a recyclable solvent and as an efficient catalyst for Friedel–Crafts alkylations of indoles with nitroalkenes.
