Preface

Ionic liquids have provided solutions to problems associated with increased production with sustainable green approaches over the last three decades. Gorden critically reviewed earlier developments in the field of ionic liquids in 1969. Ionic liquids have been explored in various applications such as catalysis, pharmaceuticals, drug discovery, solvents, and so on. As per our knowledge, there is no such book that has yet summarised ionic liquids for organic synthesis. Hence, in this book, ionic liquids are discussed with their applications in organic transformation such as biomass conversion, carbon dioxide fixation, carbon-carbon bond formation, and so on. Ionic liquids are widely used as heterogeneous catalysts in catalysis, as solvents, and as therapeutic agents. Ionic liquids have published over 500 articles in various fields every year. In this book, Ionic liquids are summarised along with their applications in organic synthesis. Chapter 1 of this book deals with the history, types and applications of ionic liquids. Chapter 2 deals with ionic liquids as a solvent for organic synthesis. Chapter 3 deals with the recent advances in cross-coupling reactions using ionic liquids. This chapter is very useful for researchers who are working in the field of carbon-carbon formation. Chapter 4 deals with the catalytic application of ionic liquids in organic transformations and describes the advantages of these liquids over other materials with respect to the mythology used in organic transformations. This chapter also discusses various chemical industries and organic chemists. Chapter 5 deals with carbon dioxide fixation using ionic liquids and this chapter will be helpful for those researchers who are working on carbon fixation and waste-to-wealth research. Chapter 6 summarises the catalytic transformation of biomass conversion in ionic liquids. Chapter 7 reviews the multicomponent reactions in ionic liquids for eco-compatible heterocyclic synthesis.

We sincerely hope that this book will be a great help to the researchers and we look forward to your observations.
