    Abstract:
    Deep eutectic solvents based on choline chloride–carboxylic acids, as a low-cost effective bifunctional catalyst, were successfully used to catalyze epoxidation of soybean oil with peroxyformic acid as the oxygen supplier under solvent-free conditions. The influence of reaction temperature and time on the epoxidation process evaluated by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantitative analysis was extensively investigated. The optimal mild conditions were 50 °C and 8 h for choline chloride–oxalic acid dihydrate with 88.80% conversion of double bonds and a high selectivity of 93.86%. Meanwhile, choline chloride–malonic acid at 50 °C for 10 h exhibited better catalytic performance, 90.87% selectivity versus only 83.52% in the choline chloride–citric acid monohydrate system for 8 h. The epoxy products analyzed simultaneously by 1H NMR and the titration method were characterized in Fourier transform infrared, 13C NMR, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results suggested choline chloride–oxalic acid dihydrate with a favorable recyclability was more efficient for the promotion of epoxidation of soybean oil.

    A series of 3-substituted-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones and 6-iodo-3-substituted-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones were synthesized in choline chloride/urea deep eutectic solvent. Substituted 2-mercapto-4(3H)-quinazolinones were synthesized from anthranilic acid or 5-iodoanthranilic acid and appropriate isothiocyanates in good to excellent yields. Isolation of final product was easy and required no further purification. Synthesis of these compounds was rapid, selective, and catalyst free, while preparation of deep eutectic solvent was easy, components are readily available, cheap, and environmentally friendly.

    The HKUST-1 MOF can not only be synthesized in the green deep eutectic solvent reline (choline chloride/urea 1 : 2) but also converts, upon heating in reline, to a 2D non-porous structure incorporating chloride anions.

    This work investigates the electrochemical role of water in the research of deep eutectic solvent (DES) based on urea and choline chloride. The motivation comes from the growing use of this DES, and on reports where a characteristic voltammetric cathodic pre-wave is observed. However, there has been no direct study to verify if such interpretation of the pre-wave is appropriate. In this regard, cyclic voltammetry has been used in this paper to interrogate the reactions inducing the appearance of the pre-wave. These experiments have been carried out using reline (the eutectic mixture of urea and choline chloride) melts containing different amounts of water, compounds which can be incorporated as impurities from air, or as decomposition products of reline. The analyses showed that a pre-wave in voltammograms in reline originates from water electroreduction accompanied with a subsequent choline hydroxide formation. In this sense, reline behaves like a typical mixture of organic solvent + alkali cation salt + water. The voltammetric signal depends on water content in reline. Importantly, this offers a possibility for in-situ electrochemical determination of water content in reline, provided that a calibration curve is constructed.

    A series of 13 aryl indeno[2′,1′:5,6]pyrido[2,3- d]pyrimidine-2,4,6-(3 H,5 H,11 H)-triones, eight of which are new, were synthesised regioselectively in high yields by a three-component reaction of 1,3-indanedione, an araldehyde and 6-aminopyrimidin-2,4(1 H,3 H)-dione in the presence of a deep eutectic solvent comprised of choline chloride/urea (1:2) as the catalyst. The reaction conditions were mild and did not require additional catalysts. Given the inexpensive, nontoxic and recyclable nature of the deep eutectic solvent, these reaction conditions are simple to carry out and environmentally friendly.
