Article Synopsis
- The Menshutkin reaction involves the alkylation of tertiary amines with alkyl halides, resulting in quaternary ammonium salts in a reaction that typically uses volatile organic solvents.
- This study explores the use of eutectic solvents as a greener substitute for these conventional solvents in quaternization reactions, focusing on isonicotinamide and substituted phenacyl bromides.
- The research found that microwave-assisted reactions in deep eutectic solvents, particularly those using choline chloride with glycerol or organic acids, yielded the best results and offered advantages like cost-effectiveness, non-toxicity, and biodegradability.
