Ionic liquids and continuous flow processes: a good marriage to design sustainable processes

In the last few years the use of Ionic Liquids (ILs) as alternative solvents for (bio)catalytic processes has increased substantially, and the benefits and different approaches reported to combine continuous flow systems and ILs are at the core of this overview. The synergy between both elements allowed us to highlight their great potential in manufacturing both bulk and fine chemicals by new and greener (bio)catalytic processesThis work was partially supported by MINECO, Spain (Ref: CTQ2011-28903) and Generalitat Valenciana (PROMETEO 2012/020) and UJI (P1-1B 2013-37
