Abstract

Ionic liquids obtain firm support: Polymer-supported imidazolium salts are shown to be highly efficient catalysts for fluorination and other nucleophilic substitution reactions. The polystyrene-based ionic materials catalyze fluorination reactions (such as that shown in the scheme; X = BF4, OTf) in very high yield, and can be reused for many such reactions.
