It is possible to enhance the reaction rates of the reaction if a co-solvent is mixed in pure ionic liquid used as a solvent.</p>10aDiels-Alder reactions10aionic liquids10akinetics10aviscosity1 aKumar, Anil1 aPawar, Sanjay, S.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/high-viscosity-ionic-liquids-causes-rate-retardation-diels-alder-reactions-0
