Abstract

There has been much interest recently in the use of ionic liquids as solvents for a variety of organic and organometallic reactions. These ionic liquids, which are easily recycled and with no effective vapour pressure, are good solvents for metal catalysts. Thus, they offer an attractive alternative to conventional organic solvents for the clean synthesis of reaction products that are not catalyst-contaminated. As a consequence, it is likely that many chemical reactions can be ...
