Cholinium N‐Tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl‐3‐amino‐2‐hydroxypropanesulfonate [Ch][TAPSO] has been found as an efficient ionic liquid catalyst for the synthesis of tetrahydro‐4H‐chromenes and 3,4‐dihydropyrano[c]chromenes in water and EtOH : Water (3 : 2) respectively. [Ch][TAPSO] being a basic IL has also been observed to extract acidic compounds such as rhodamine B from IL‐ immiscible organic solvent such as acetone through acid‐base interaction. The extraction process of fluorescent dye rhodamine B was determined by ultraviolet‐visible (UV‐Vis) spectroscopy. The observed percentage extraction rate is 100 % upto 6 mM solution of rhodamine in acetone. This method results in faster reaction with operational simplicity and excellent yields of the products. Furthermore, the catalyst has a great capacity for reutilisation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
