Abstract
This review gives a summary of the epoxidation of various olefins catalyzed by different transition metal complexes, as well as by metal-free compounds in ionic liquid media. A comparison of the most active systems for different olefins is presented, and the effect of the ionic liquid solvents on the catalytic activity and catalyst reusability is discussed.
