Abstract
Ionic liquids have emerged as a strategically well-characterized class of compounds that are widely considered to be good substitutes for organic solvents during the biotransformation process. Ionic liquids have proven to be advantageous in terms of selectivity, activity, and shelf life. There are challenges associated with the application of these solvents, e.g. Low purity of the ionic liquids, lack of control of the reaction conditions, and poor products, but isolation limits the practical application. In this chapter, we present the quantitative data on the activity of ionic liquids for enzyme-catalyzed processes taken from the literature. This chapter is an update on the development and application of ionic liquids in biocatalysis and biotechnology. Finally, the activity of pure native and polymerized ionic liquids was compared, and the limitations associated with the application of ionic liquids were discussed.
