Biocatalysis in ionic liquids: batchwise and continuous flow processes using supercritical carbon dioxide as the mobile phase.
A new and environmentally benign protocol for enzymatic reactions in ionic liquids is described using supercritical CO2 as the mobile phase; the products are obtained in solvent-free form and the enzyme/ionic liquid mixture can be recycled in batchwise or continuous flow operations.
