Ionic Liquids in Synthesis: 2 Volume Set

Synthetic chemistry has been dominated by reactions in
volatile solvents for a long time. Since some of
these eventually happened to be toxic or
otherwise environmentally damaging, the
introduction of cleaner technologies has become a
major concern in synthetic chemistry.
Chemical synthesis in ionic liquids holds the
advantage of often being more efficient, thus
lowering the amount of raw materials used and
and reducing pollution, not to mention cost
reduction. In addition, both processing and handling
can be much simpler than before.
The second, completely revised and extended edition of what has become the standard reference work in this fascinating and fast–growing field brings together the latest developments (industrial processes are already established, and ionic liquids are now commercially available), supplemented by numerous practical tips. The editors are two well–known pioneers in the field and authors of a large number of high level publications, providing those working in both research and industry with an indispensable source of first–handed information.
About the First Edition:
"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
"This is a very impressive and up–to–date first book on ionic liquids, invaluable to newcomers and to those active in the field."
