Perspectives of ionic liquids applications for the synthesis of five- and six-membered O,N-heterocycles

ABSTRACT

A considerable attention has been paid on the use of ionic liquids in chemical research. Modern synthetic chemistry is benefited as ionic liquid methodology provided an environmentally benign approach. In comparison to traditional processes the use of ILs resulted in improved, complimentary or alternative selectivities in organic synthesis. This review focuses on the advances in the development of innovative applications of ionic liquids for the synthesis of five- and six-membered O,N-heterocycles.
