The nucleophilic substitution of PhCCl 3 by KF in imidazolium‐type RTILs is faster than in classical organic solvents but it is strongly dependent upon the nature of the counteranion. The addition of bromide salts in substoichoimetric amounts to the [bmim][PF 6 ] solvent strongly accelerates this reaction. Furthermore, it has been discovered that addition of KPF 6 to the reaction mixtures strongly activates the nucleophilic fluorination by KF, not only in the [bmim][NTf 2 ] or [bmim][PF 6 ] ionic liquids but also for the reactions performed in sulfolane.
