Industrial Chemistry in the new millennium is widely adopting the concept of “Green Chemistry” to meet the fundamental scientific challenges of protecting the health as well as environment, while maintaining the commercial viability. Use of Ionic liquids (IL) fit nicely into this bill with remarkably cutting the required reaction time and improving the yields and purity of the desired products. Other three more rapidly emerging areas of Green chemistry are Microwave Irradiation (MI), Phase transfer catalysis (PTC) & Sonochemistry (SC). Green chemistry is defined as the designing of chemical compounds and methods that minimizes or destroyed the use and generation of hazardous substances. The awareness of the said liquid is mainly due to their properties such as non flammability, lack of measurable vapor pressure, and good ability to dissolve organic, organometallic, and even some inorganic compounds. In this regards we report the applications of one of the Green Chemistry technique (Ionic liquid) with respect to Pharmaceuticals.
