Abstract: The invention relates to an optically active ionic liquid containing (a) a cationic species having a heterocyclic ring; and (b) an anionic species. This cationic species contains at least one asymmetric carbon atom. This ionic liquid can be produced by a process including the step of reacting a heterocyclic compound, which contains an asymmetric carbon atom, with an alkylation agent. The ionic liquid can be useful as a solvent for asymmetric syntheses.
