Abstract

Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), also called “designer solvents”, have been drawing intense scrutiny owing to their properties such as a wide “liquid” range, good ability to dissolve both organic and inorganic compounds, high polarity, good thermal stability and negligible vapor pressure. In some chemical reactions in RTILs as solvents, high selectivity, excellent yields and good catalytic characteristics have been demonstrated. The isolation ...
