Abstract

Chloroaluminate ionic liquids composed of AICl(3) and organic cations can promote a variety of organic reactions. The composition of these chloroaluminate ionic liquids governs the acidity and basicity of solvent media, in which the reactions are carried out. Useful physico-chemical properties of these ionic liquids and the recent work on their role in accelerating organic reactions are described in the present article.
