Carbohydrate Based Ionic Liquids (CHILs): Synthesis and Applications
Stefan Jopp
Abstract
Carbohydrate based ionic liquids (CHILs) are a sub‐class of ionic liquids which first emerged in 2007 and has since then attracted a steadily growing community of organic chemists. Since carbohydrates are naturally occurring materials with a broad spectrum of diastereomers, they are fitting materials for ionic liquids bearing stereochemical information. This review gives an up‐to‐date overview of all CHILs and their applications in asymmetric chemistry.
