Sumario:Ionic liquids have much interesting attention in the area of biomedical and it’s an alternative to traditional organic solvents owing to their unique chemical, physical properties and environmentally eco-friendly catalytic responses. Ionic liquids have distinct properties like tunability that allows their physical and chemical behaviors to be changed as desired by changing the organic cations with inorganic anions or inorganic cations with organic anions or both cation and anion from organic moieties. Most of the organic reactions are carried out with assistance of catalyst, usually commercially available catalyst are very expensive, more hydroscopic in nature, thermally unstable and very difficult to recycle them but ionic liquids are acted as potential Lewis acidic behaviors, thermally stable, easily recycle inexpensive compared to commercial catalyst and easy to prepare electrically neutral organic cation which are loosely bind with inorganic anions, and organic (pyridinium/imidazolium/piperidinium) cation could be easily accelerate (or) activate the functional group for most of the organic reactions. Hence, ionic liquids plays a vital role in modern organic synthetic field and may be inevitable in future research.
