Abstract

Recent researches of ionic liquids catalyzed green organic syntheses using organic carbonates were summarized, particularly focusing on the alkylation/hydroxyalkylation of nucleophiles with dimethyl carbonate and cyclic alkylene carbonates, the esterification of aliphatic amines, aromatic amines and indole. Finally, the development and application of ionic liquids catalyzed reactions of nucleophiles and electrophiles, particularly the reactions using organic carbonates were prospected.
