Abstract

Abstract The task-specific ionic liquid (TSIL) and 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocynanate,([bmim] SCN) were used as the medium as well as the reactant for the synthesis of α-thiocynanatoketones by the reaction with α-sulfonyloxy aryl ketones. Significant rate enhancements and improved yields have been observed.
