Choline chloride-based des as solvents/catalysts/chemical donors in pharmaceutical synthesis

DES are mixtures of two or more compounds, able to form liquids upon mixing, with lower freezing points when compared to the individual constituents (eutectic mixtures). This attitude is due to the specific hydrogen-bond interactions network between the components of the mixture. A notable characteristic of DES is the possibility to develop...

Exploring Commercial Applications of Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents

The aim of this thesis is to determine if Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) can be implemented in a commercially viable process. NADES are a new class of solvents which can be considered a bio-based version of Ionic liquids and Deep Eutectic Solvents. A case study is performed on the extracting of value added compounds from orange waste....
