The recent development about using DESs as green solvents in transition metal catalyzed organic reactions was highlighted, and Au, Metal impregnated on magnetite, Pd, Ru catalyzed organic reactions proceeded smoothly in DESs and gave corresponding products in reasonable yields. And in some cases, the catalytic systems could be recycled up to several times. [Display omitted] In this review, the recent development about using DESs as green solvents in transition metal catalyzed organic reactions was highlighted. Firstly, the development of DESs was simply introduced. After presenting the advantages of DESs, transition metals catalyzed organic reactions using DESs as green solvents were classified and introduced in detail. Different transition metals such as Au, metal impregnated on magnetite, Pd and Ru catalyzed organic reactions proceeded smoothly in DESs and gave corresponding products in good yields. And in some cases, the catalytic systems could be recycled up to several times without any decrease in activity.
