Ionic Liquids in Organic Synthesis brings together leading scientists who have made major contributions to the field of ionic liquids. This book assembles several new methodologies that are interdisciplinary by nature, discussing the unique properties of ionic liquids and the ways in which they induce significant solvent effects on a wide range of pf processes. Twenty-two chapters are included. Ionic Liquids in Organic Synthesis covers areas of rapid progress and industrial importance. Ionic liquids are emerging as novel replacements for volatile organic compounds traditionally used as industrial solvents this book will elaborate on this subject while also examining practical synthetic applications of ionic liquids. This field has been an important topic of research for scientists in both industry and academia over the past 30 years and continues to grow.
