Lanthanide bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imides as a kind of effective catalyst were used in quaternary ammonium ionic liquids to afford a useful new method for the nitration of substituted benzenes with concentrated nitric acid (95%) as nitrating agent. The less expensive lanthanum bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide was found to be the most effective catalyst employed in the ionic liquid tributylammonium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide. The lanthanum bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide/tributylammonium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide system demonstrated high catalytic activity for the nitration of halobenzenes and rendered good to excellent yields. This catalyst/ionic liquid system could be recovered by simple procedures and recycled for at least 5 times.
