The use of ionic liquids (ILs) as organocatalysts is reviewed for transesterification reactions, specifically for the conversion of nontoxic compounds such as dialkyl carbonates to both linear mono-transesterification products or alkylene carbonates. An introductory survey compares pros and cons of classic catalysts based on both acidic and basic systems, to ionic liquids. Then, innovative green syntheses of task-specific ILs and their representative applications are introduced to detail the efficiency and highly selective outcome of ILs-catalyzed transesterification reactions. A mechanistic hypothesis is discussed by the concept of cooperative catalysis based on the dual (electrophilic/nucleophilic) activation of reactants.

: Green chemistry emphasizes designing novel routes to overcome health and environmental problems that occur during a chemical reaction. Green solvents are used in place of conventional solvents that are hazardous to both human and the environment. Solvents like water, ionic liquids, supercritical CO2, biosolvents, organic carbonates, and deep eutectic mixtures can be used as green solvents. The review focuses on the properties, applications, and limitations of these solvents.

A simple and efficient methodology for the synthesis of 1-alkyl-2,4-(1<em>H</em>,3<em>H</em>)-quinazolinediones from <em>o</em>-aminobenzamides has been developed. The novel one-pot cyclization-alkylation reactions are easier and faster than any other reported protocols and resulted in excellent yields (96-98%) and high purities, making this methodology suitable for library synthesis in drug discovery efforts. By applying microwave irradiation at 130 °C and in the presence of ionic liquids, dimethyl or diethyl carbonates simultaneously act as carbonylating and alkylating agents.
