Deep Eutectic Solvent/Lipase: Two Environmentally Benign and Recyclable Media for Efficient Synthesis of N-Aryl Amines
Deep eutectic solvent (DES)/lipase catalyzed efficient synthesis of N-aryl amines from electron deficient aryl chlorides and amines at ambient temperature is reported. Its significant features include excellent yields of products, use of biodegradable, non-toxic and recyclable catalysts, thereby avoiding toxic metal catalyst/solvents making these protocols environmentally benign.
