Environmentally Friendly Syntheses Using Ionic Liquids

by Jairton Dupont (Editor), Toshiyuki Itoh (Editor), Pedro Lozano (Editor), Sanjay Malhotra (Editor)

Overview

Increased environmental consciousness within the scientific community has spurred the search for environmentally friendly processes as alternatives to conventional organic solvents. In the past two decades, numerous advances-including the use of ionic liquids-have made it possible to develop substitutes for some toxic solvents. Ionic liquids are wi
