| Sumario: | Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as prominent, environmentally benign substitutes for traditional solvents and catalysts in organic synthesis, notably in the synthesis of amines, pivotal structures in many industrial sectors. Their distinctive physicochemical attributes—including negligible volatility, exceptional thermal stability, and adjustable polarity—render them particularly advantageous for facilitating a broad spectrum of amination reactions. DESs can serve dually as reaction media and as intrinsic catalytic systems, accelerating reaction kinetics without necessitating supplementary catalysts or severe reaction conditions. They are especially efficacious in processes such as reductive amination, transamination, and multicomponent transformations, often affording superior yields and streamlining product isolation. The extensive hydrogen-bonding network intrinsic to DESs is believed to mediate crucial mechanistic steps, frequently obviating the requirement for external additives. Moreover, DESs are recyclable and exhibit compatibility with a diverse array of substrates, encompassing bio-derived and pharmaceutical intermediates. |
