Several new caprolactam-based Bronsted acidic ionic liquids [Caprolactam]X (X- = pTSO-, BSO-, BF4-, NO3-) with relatively lower cost and lower toxicity were synthesized and for the first time used in catalyzing organic reaction. They showed good catalytic activity in the nitration of toluene and chlorobenzene with HNO3/Ac2O under mild conditions. Among them, [Caprolactam]pTSO was the best one probably because of its better affinity to aromatics than the others. [Caprolactam]pTSO catalyzed the nitration of toluene with achieving a high yield (99.7%, calculated by quantitative GC) and better para-selectivity (ortho/para=1.03) than the traditional mixed acid methodology. And the catalyst can be recycled for four times.
