Due to special properties of ILs (Ionic Liquids) like their wide liquid range,
good solvating ability, negligible vapour pressure, non-inflammability, environment
friendly medium, high thermal stability, easy recycling and rate promoters etc. they are
used in organic synthesis. The investigation for the replacement of organic solvents in organic
synthesis is a growing area of interest due to increasing environmental issues.
Therefore, ionic liquids have attracted the attention of chemists and act as a catalyst and
reaction medium in organic reaction with high activity. There is no doubt that ionic liquids
have become a major subject of study for modern chemistry. In comparison to traditional
processes the use of ionic liquids resulted in improved, complimentary or alternative selectivities
in organic synthesis. The present manuscript reported the synthesis of multiple
nitrogen containing five-membered heterocyclic compounds using ionic liquids. This review covered interesting
discoveries in the past few years.
