Neoteric solvent systems

The outlook of syntheses, based on using SC-CO2 or appropriate IL/SC-CO2 biphasic system for developing integral green chemical processes due to the physical and chemical characterishcs of these neoteric solvents and the enhanced enzyme catalytic properties seems promising. 

Reactions in Biphasic Solvent Systems and in Neoteric Solvents... 

Normally, catalytic systems that include an IL phase require large amounts of these neoteric solvents in most cases, which are often costly and may affect the economic viability of a chemical process. Even though ILs have become commercially available, they are still relatively expensive compared to most of the conventional solvents. Furthermore, I Ls are usually viscous and have low diffusion coefficients for chemical reactions. In this regard, a new concept of a supported ionic liquid (SIL) phase has been adopted for immobihzation of catalysts [3]. SIL phases, which are much easier to separate, are advantageous for chemical reactions and have great potential in catalysis. This strategy helps to immobilize catalysts...
