CATALYST COMPRISING INDIUM SALT AND ORGANIC IONIC LIQUID AND PROCESS FOR FRIEDEL-CRAFTS REACTIONS

摘要

Disclosed is a catalyst composition based on an indium salt and an organic ionic liquid, a process for making the catalyst composition, and uses thereof. The catalyst composition is particularly suitable for Lewis acid catalysed electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, such as Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions an Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions.
