Abstract
The present overview describes ionic liquids as alternate, attractive solvents of today and tomorrow in organic synthesis. Since this subject is too wide and developments have been too fast, only a recent account is presented on indispensable carbon-carbon bond forming named reactions such as Knoevenagel, Michael Aldol, Biginelli Reaction, and so on, which has never been done before exclusively.
