Abstract: As the most important method to prepare pharmaceutical and chemical intermediate aromatic ketones, Friedel–Crafts (F–C) acylation is used to seek a novel catalytic system which is imminently consistent with the concept of green chemistry. In this study, six deep eutectic solvents (DES) were synthesized for the Friedel–Crafts acylation reaction as a catalytic solvent. Among the six DES, choline chloride-zinc chloride ([ChCl][ZnCl2]2) proved to be the most competent candidate of electron-rich arenes with acylation reagent. It got the highest yield when 1.0 equivalent of [ChCl][ZnCl2]2 used with acyl halides at 70?°C. Recycled DES was reused directly without any extra process. After five cycles, the catalytic activity did not decrease significantly (80–85%). Finally, according to experimental validation, the possible mechanism of this reaction was considered.
