Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) and Their Applications
Emma L. Smith,*,+,?DESs have also
been proposed as environmentally benign alternatives for
synthesis.DESs are systems formed from a eutectic mixture of
Lewis or Bronsted acids and bases which can contain a variety of
anionic and/or cationic species; in contrast, ILs are formed from
systems composed primarily of one type of discrete anion and
cation.INTRODUCTION
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are now widely acknowledged as
a new class of ionic liquid (IL) analogues because they share
many characteristics and properties with ILs.Compared to classical ILs, the research into DESs is
comparatively in its infancy, with the first paper on the subject
only published in 2001.1 However, with publications from the
past decade now approaching 200 an increasing amount of
research effort is focusing on this emerging field.Transformations of Unprotected Sugars,
