The biomass-derivable ethyl lactate has been attracting daily increasing attention as a green medium in organic synthesis. The unique advantages of nontoxicity, low cost, complete biodegradability, high boiling point, and excellent compatibility to water and most organic compounds of this solvent cater well to the property of a green reaction medium. In recent years, ethyl lactate (EL) has been successfully used as medium in different types of organic reactions, including Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, Glaser reaction as well as cascade synthesis of heterocyclic compounds with biological activities. Based on our own research interest in this issue, the advances in organic synthesis employing EL as a green medium are summarized.

Key words: green medium, ethyl lactate, coupling reaction, condensation reaction, cascade reaction
