Catalytic reactions in ionic liquids (ILs) have been examined for at least 20 years; for
example, the first report of the use of an IL as a catalyst in Friedel-Crafts acylation was …

Merrifield first reported the concept of solid-phase peptide synthesis using heterogeneous
chloromethylated polystyrene that was lightly cross-linked by divinylbenzene (Merrifield …

Supported ionic liquid catalysis is a concept which combines the advantages of ionic liquids
with those of heterogeneous support materials. The viability of this concept has been …

In the last eight years, L-proline and L-proline derivatives, such as substituted prolinamides
or pyrrolidines, have been successfully used as organocatalysts in several reactions. In this …

The most important application of polymers in synthetic chemistry is the use of cross-linked
polymers in solid phase synthesis and in various sorts of “purifications”. This is emphasized …

The latest developments in supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) systems for catalysis and
separation technology are surveyed. The SILP concept combines the advantages of …

Ionic liquids (ILs) which are made up of cationic and anionic components can be designed
to possess a definite set of properties. In this context, the term “designer solvents” has been …

Applications of ionic liquids to replace conventional solvents in homogeneous transition‐
metal catalysis have increased significantly during the last decade. Biphasic ionic …

In a supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) catalyst system, an ionic liquid (IL) film is
immobilized on a high-surface area porous solid and a homogeneous catalyst is dissolved …
