Chapter 1 The Interactions Affecting Organic Reactivity and Selectivity in Ionic Liquids

摘要

Ionic liquids are emerging as novel replacements for volatile organic compounds traditionally used as industrial solvents: however, little is known about how the use of an ionic liquid can affect the reactions of solute species. With their unique properties, ionic liquids may really induce significant solvent effects on a wide range of processes. In this paper, the solvent properties of ionic liquids are discussed at the light of kinetic and stereochemical studies recently performed in our laboratories on some typical organic reactions.
