Yes Is the manuscript likely to be of interest to a reasonable number of organic chemists? Yes Are the conclusions adequately supported by the data presented? Yes Are the compounds reported adequately characterized with regard to identity and purity? Yes Are the literature references appropriate and correct? Yes Is the manuscript written clearly and concisely in idiomatic English? Yes Rate the overall Importance of this paper to the field of Organic Chemistry 5 - Highly Important / 1 - Unimportant: 3 Recommendation: Publish after minor revisions noted below. Additional Comments: page 2 : are aryl triflate really not commercially available ? Can be available if necessary page 2 : mistake : "phosphors" : phosphor page 2 : mistake " aryaltion" : arylation page 4 : please explain what molecular solvent means General questions : do you have homogeneous medium in the ionic liquid ? could you comment on this ? Do you have checked the E/Z ratio and the regioselectivity of the arylation during time (from 0h to 24h) ? A graphic representation would be fine to see.
