Deep eutectic solvents and their applications as green solvents

Several examples illustrate the effectiveness of using Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) as environmentally responsible reaction media in polar organometallic chemistry and in metal-catalysed and biocatalysed processes in place of conventional, often hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Apart from the standpoint of ‘greenness’, applications of DESs in the aforementioned fields also reveal novel aspects of reactivity of practical...
