Pressure enhances the kinetic sensitivity of the reaction. The kinetic effect of fluorophobic interactions was examined using ionic liquids with fluorous cations. Ionic liquids in combination with ZnI<SUB>2</SUB> as a Lewis acid catalyst were also studied under high pressure.text::journal::journal article::research article
