Alternative solvents such as supercritical carbon dioxide, water, and ionic liquids are receiving an increase of interest as better replacements for conventional solvents in chemical reactions. They have been called sustainable green solvents because they are highly promising reaction mediums for organic synthesis. This review presents an overview of some selected chemical reactions that have been developed in these green solvents with a particular emphasis on metal-catalyzed reactions.
