Abstract

Conversion of 4-R-nitrobenzenes into 3-R-benzoic acids under the action of KCN in the EtOH–H2O mixture (the von Richter reaction) is significantly accelerated by ionic liquids thus allowing to extend the scope of the reaction. The finding is pioneering ionic liquid- promoted nucleophilic aromatic cine-substitution of hydrogen.
