Ionic Liquids: A New Strategy in Pharmaceutical Synthesis

Abstract: The industrial synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds often involves the use of organic solvents. Unfortunately, these reaction media are responsible for organic contaminations in the final product. In recent years, ionic liquids (ILs) have become the "green alternatives" of volatile organic solvents. Thus, the application of ILs instead of conventional reagents offer a new opportunity to solve problems of environmentally harmful solvents. This mini-review discusses a new application of ILs in laboratory-scale … Show more

“…ILs have already been well studied as novel solvents for cellulose dissolution and biomass processing (Swatloski et al 2002;Lasse et al 2013;Holding et al 2014Holding et al , 2016Holding et al , 2017. ILs are often defined as 'molten organic salts' with melting points below 100°C (Skoda-Földes 2014; Chowdhury et al 2007;Siódmiak et al 2012), whose chemical and physical properties can be tuned by varying the cations, homologous substituents and anions. Having essentially no vapor pressure, they are non-flammable and in contrast to traditional volatile organic compounds, they are often spuriously described as 'green' solvents (Zhu et al 2006).…”

“…Furthermore, IL is also known as 'green solvent' due to negligible vapour pressure [2]. A growing trend has been seen in the development of IL in various applications such as organic synthesis, biocatalysis [3], electrochemistry [4], extraction [5] and in pharmaceutical [6]. IL can be classified into two classes; aprotic and protic ionic liquids.…”

“…Successfully used in various fields such as organic chemistry synthesis and catalysis [1], electrodeposition [2,3], energy storage [1], separation technologies [4], protein crystallization [1,5,6] the ionic liquids at ambient temperature (RTILs) currently present an increasingly interest especially for the pharmaceutical industry [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The growing interest for the applications of RTILs in the industrial synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds can be explained by a number of physicochemical properties highly attractive of RTILs [1,14,15], compared with those of organic solvents used routinely.…”
