“…41,42 Since the rst one was made by Abbott's group in the year 2001, a number of other DESs have indeed been discovered as solvents and catalysts for organic transformations such as the creation of carboncarbon [43][44][45] and carbon-heteroatom 46 bonding, as well as multicomponent reactions. DESs have been employed in a wide range of applications, including the extraction of cellulose, 47 chitin, 48 polysaccharides, 49 lipids, 50 and other polarity chemicals, 51 as well as the electrolyte in dye-sensitized solar cells, [52][53][54] lithium-ion batteries, [55][56][57] and electrochemical double-layer capacitors. 58 As an environmentally friendly catalyst for organic transformation, deep eutectic solvent [Urea] 7 [ZnCl 2 ] 2 made of urea and zinc chloride has recently come to light (Scheme 2).…”
