“…Furthermore, taking advantage of some peculiar properties like high viscosity, conductivity, and polarity, as well as high solubility in water, which usually simplify the isolation of the final products, DESs have been successfully employed as alternatives to VOCs in many organic and organometallic transformations. − For example, the employment of polar organometallic reagents like alkyl- and aryllithium species , in DESs has been successfully proven under mild conditions and very short reaction times. A very important class of transformations that were positively affected by the use of DESs consist of cross-coupling reactions, as reported for Suzuki–Miyaura, − Sonogashira, ,, Hiyama, , Negishi, Stille–Migita, and Ullmann-type − reactions, which have been extensively investigated in recent years.…”
