Duet of Extremes : Efficient and environmentally benign, biphasic systems consisting of ionic liquids and supercritical CO 2 (scCO 2 ) have been employed in lipase‐catalyzed esterifications (see scheme). The reaction takes place in the ionic liquid with or without a solid support, and the products are removed by means of either batchwise or continuous‐flow extraction with supercritical CO 2 .
