This review covers the brief details of synthesis and applications of task specific ionic liquids designed for organocatalysed reaction. Various scientists have anchored the different organocatalyst moieties to the structure of imidazolium-based ionic liquids and developed functionalized liquids capable of behaving as both solvent and organocatalyst. Basic idea behind task specific ionic liquids as their name suggest is to design the solvent-cum-organocatalyst for specific reactions as evident from this review. This review offers first ever compilation of the scientific work carried out in the field of task specific ionic liquids.
