Abstract
Abstract A new biocompatible amino-functionalized ionic liquid composed solely of biomaterials was synthesized from taurine and choline hydroxide, and its physical properties (density, viscosity, miscibility and thermal stability) were also determined. The classic base-promoted three-component cyclic condensation of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and dimedone was chosen as the test reaction to demonstrate the catalytic activity of choline taurinate ([Ch][Tau]). The catalyst could be recovered and reused several times with no significant loss of activity. As a basic ionic liquid, [Ch][Tau] can extract acidic compounds from immiscible solvents through acid-base interaction. The extraction process of fluorescent dye Rhodamine B was monitored using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, by which the percentage extraction rate was determined as 95%.
