Ionic Liquids in Synthesis - Tapa dura

"...this excellent work should be read by industrial chemists and should be in every industrial chemistry library. Highly recommended..." (Organic Process Research & Development) "...everyone who is involved in work on ionic liquids...even the reader who simply wants an overview of this exciting new area...should buy this book!" (Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Vol. 42, 2003) "...provides an excellent summary of available information on ionic liquids as well as ready access to the primary literature on specific topics." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 125, No. 39)

The demand for increasingly clean and efficient chemical syntheses is becoming more urgent from both an economic and an environmental standpoint. The development of ionic liquids that are fluid at room temperature is a major advance in green chemistry. These new green "designer-solvents" are less toxic and therefore more environmnetally friendly. This book brings together the latest developments in this fascinating field: It guides readers through both theory and application of this new approach The editors are pioneers on this cutting-edge field of research It is relevant to industry as these solvents prove to be cost-effective Ionic Liquids in Synthesis serves as both an introduction to the field and as a source of advanced material for experts.
