Ionic Liquids as Solvents for Organic Synthesis

  • Chapter
Green Industrial Applications of Ionic Liquids

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 92))

Abstract

Ionic liquids provide a solvent environment quite unlike any other available at, or near room temperature. The challenge is to discover whether that environment can add significant advantage for synthesis. Initial investigations show that ionic liquids can be exploited in several ways. They can be used as an integral component of the reaction or catalyst system, or they may be used as an “innocent” solvent.
