Abstract
New halogen-free Brønsted acidic deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been prepared by mixing new quaternary ammonium methanesulfonate salts with p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA). They have been used as dual solvent-catalyst for esterification of several carboxylic acids with different alcohols with a reagent molar ratio of 1:1. The method is mild, safe, and simple. Ease of recovery and reusability of DES with high activity makes this method efficient and eco-friendly. The tunability of DES properties, attained by changes in the cation, was performed in order to achieve various esters in good yields.
