Several imidazolium ionic liquid (IL)-supported sulfonic acids with different anions,[C3SO3Hmim]HSO4,[C3SO3Hmim]BF4,[C3SO3Hmim]PF6,and [C3SO3Hmim]CF3SO3,were synthesized and applied as catalysts for esterification reaction of benzoic acid.The experimental results indicate that imidazolium IL-supported sulfonic acid containing anion of HSO4- shows the best catalytic activity.Only when less [C3SO3Hmim]HSO4 (0.3 equiv.) applied,was the product obtained with high yield of 97%.Furthermore,the produced esters could be separated by decantation,and the catalyst could be reused after the removal of water.
