Synthesis of diphenylmethane (DPM) from benzene and benzyl chloride with acidic ionic liquids, such as(C2H5)3NHCl-AlCl3, (C2H5)3NHCl-ZnCl2, (C2H5)3NHCl-FeCl3, and (C2H5)3NHCl-CuCl2, as catalysts wasinvestigated. The results showed that (C2H5)3NHCl-AlCl3 is a highly efficient catalyst. Both the yield andthe selectivity of DPM reached up to 100% in the presence of (C2H5)3NHCl-AlCl3 as catalyst, when thereaction was carried out at ambient conditions.
