Ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents as green alternatives in organic synthesis: A comprehensive review
Author(s): Ganesh R Chaudhari
Abstract: Green chemistry has prompted the development of alternative solvent systems that reduce environmental impact while maintaining high reaction efficiency. Among these, ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as promising candidates due to their negligible vapor pressures, tunable physicochemical properties, and potential to serve as both reaction media and catalysts. This review offers an in-depth analysis of the structure, properties, and applications of ILs and DESs in organic synthesis, with a focus on their roles in esterification, alkylation, redox, cycloaddition, and multicomponent reactions. Environmental impact, toxicity profiles, recyclability, industrial scalability, and future research directions are discussed in detail. The integration of reaction schemes and comprehensive references further illustrates their potential to transform sustainable process development.
