For several decades various chemical industries are involved in environment pollution by using hazardous chemicals or excessive use of solvents or catalysts to get maximum amount of desired product. In this case acidic ionic liquids may act as safer substitute of volatile organic solvents/or traditional Brønsted or Lewis acid catalysts with their unique dual task-specific solvent-catalyst properties. Recent surge in the literature review clearly describes the importance, properties and applications of acidic ionic liquids as solvent and efficient reusable catalyst in organic reactions. This review presents an account of some recent reports indicating the synthesis and uses of –SO3H functionalized ionic liquids(SFILs) as catalyst in organic synthesis.
