- The present DFT investigation supports a previous conclusion of Dean et al. that hydroxylation occurs without epoxide intermediate at room temperature due to a strong electrostatic interaction of peroxide ions with π electrons of CC bonds of chalcone, and 3-hydroxyflavone has been found to be the major product. The calculated activation energy difference (ΔG#) of initial enolization followed by hydroxylation or simultaneous cyclization and hydroxylation has been found to be negligible (∼4 kcal mol-1). On the other hand, epoxide formation requires significant activation energy, which is supposed to occur at high temperatures. In addition, if epoxide is formed, the ring opens by an attack of phenolic oxygen, occurring preferentially at α position via a five-member transition state due to a low activation barrier height (19.82 kcal mol-1 in the gas phase and 19.55 kcal mol-1 in ethanol) compared to that of a six-member transition state (44.41 kcal mol-1 at B3LYP in the gas phase and 38.55 kcal mol -1 in ethanol). It is also observed that the solvation study does not affect the main conclusion of the paper. These findings also support the previous observation of Dean et al. Predicted ΔG# in different DFT functionals are consistent, although the total energy is significantly different

- Amino acid ionic liquids (ILs) are the most interesting and effective for CO2 capture due to their low toxicity, biodegradability and fast reactivity towards CO2. Ionic nature of amino acid ILs can raise an environmental issue if the cation counterpart becomes toxic to the aquatic ecosystems and can become potential atmospheric pollutant. In this regard, choline based ILs are known to be promising scaffolds for the development of less toxic amino acid ILs. However, the existing choline amino acid ILs are highly viscous limiting their applicability as solvents. Ether functionalized choline based amino acid ILs with novel series of less toxic green ILs were explored with reduced viscosity and high CO2 capture capacity. A simple, economic, clean and environmentally benign method was utilized for the synthesis of novel choline based amino acid ILs using a commercially available and economical starting material 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol (deanol, a human dietary food supplement). Reported ILs have low viscosity with high CO2 capture capacity (1.62 mol of CO2 /mol of IL, 4.31 mol of CO2/kg of IL, 19.02 wt.% of CO2). Mechanism of [N1,1,6,2O4][Lys]+CO2 reaction and adduct structure was proposed by means of DFT and NMR.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The effect of CO2 absorption on the aromaticity and hydrogen bonding in ionic liquids is investigated. Five different ionic liquids with choline based cations and aprotic N-heterocyclic anions were synthesized. Purity and structures of the synthesized ionic liquids were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. CO2 capture performance was studied at 20 °C and 40 °C under three different pressures (1, 3, 6 bar). The IL [N1,1,6,2OH][4-Triz] showed the highest CO2 capture capacity (28.6 wt%, 1.57 mol of CO2 per mol of the IL, 6.48 mol of CO2 per kg of the ionic liquid) at 20 °C and 1 bar. The high CO2 capture capacity of the [N1,1,6,2OH][4-Triz] IL is due to the formation of carbonic acid (–OCO2H) together with carbamate by participation of the –OH group of the [N1,1,6,2OH]+ cation in the CO2 capture process. The structure of the adduct formed by CO2 reaction with the IL [N1,1,6,2OH][4-Triz] was probed by using IR, 13C NMR and 1H–13C HMBC NMR experiments utilizing 13C labeled CO2 gas. 1H and 13C PFG NMR studies were performed before and after CO2 absorption to explore the effect of cation–anion structures on the microscopic ion dynamics in ILs. The ionic mobility was significantly increased after CO2 reaction due to lowering of aromaticity in the case of ILs with aromatic N-heterocyclic anions.

- We investigate a comparative effect of CO2 absorption on the ionic mobility of two choline based ionic liquids comprising two different anions such as threonine and imidazole. The synthesized ionic liquids were characterized using 1H and 13C NMR and other spectroscopic techniques. By keeping a common cation and changing the anion from threonine to imidazole both the viscosity and density reduced drastically. We found that [N1,1,6,2OH][Imi] exhibits the highest CO2 capture capacity at 20 °C of 5.27 mol of CO2 per kg of ionic liquid (1.27 mol of CO2 per mol of ionic liquid, 23.26 wt% of CO2) whereas [N1,1,6,2OH][Threo] exhibits 3.6 mol of CO2 per kg of ionic liquid (1.05 mol of CO2 per mol of ionic liquid, 15.87 wt% of CO2). The activation energy for diffusion is calculated using the Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman (VFT) equation in the form of diffusivity. It was found that the activation energy for the diffusion of [N1,1,6,2OH][Threo] is ∼10 times higher than that of [N1,1,6,2OH][Imi]. 1H diffusion NMR data revealed that the diffusivity of [N1,1,6,2OH][Imi] is increased after CO2 absorption whereas a decrease in diffusivity was observed in the case of [N1,1,6,2OH][Threo]. This anomalous behavior of [N1,1,6,2OH][Imi] was further explained by using DFT calculations.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A shift towards an economically viable biomass biorefinery concept requires the use of all biomass fractions (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) for the production of high added-value products. As lignin is often underutilized, the establishment of lignin valorization routes is highly important. In-house produced organosolv as well as commercial Kraft lignin were used in this study. The aim of the current work was to make a comparative study of thermoplastic biomaterials from two different types of lignins. Native lignins were alkylate with two different alkyl iodides to produce ether-functionalized lignins. Successful etherification was verified by FT-IR spectroscopy, changes in the molecular weight of lignin, as well as 13C and 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The thermal stability of etherified lignin samples was considerably improved with the T2% of organosolv to increase from 143 °C to up to 213 °C and of Kraft lignin from 133 °C to up to 168 °C, and glass transition temperature was observed. The present study shows that etherification of both organosolv and Kraft lignin with alkyl halides can produce lignin thermoplastic biomaterials with low glass transition temperature. The length of the alkyl chain affects thermal stability as well as other thermal properties.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Monoalkylation of primary amines using amine hydrobromides and alkyl bromides has been carried out. Under controlled reaction conditions the reactant primary amine was selectively deprotonated and made available for reaction, while the newly generated secondary amine remained protonated, and did not participate in alkylation further. Reaction was carried out under mild reaction conditions and was applicable to a wide range of primary amines and alkyl bromides.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Computational inside of Banert cascade reaction for triazole formation is studied with B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. The reaction proceeds mainly by SN2 initial chloride displacement rather than SN2′ -type attack. Furthermore, according to the rate of reaction calculation, SN2 displacement is much faster than SN2′ displacement in the order of 8. The [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement for the conversion of propargyl azide into triazafulvene has been proved as the rate-determining step having highest activation energy parameter. Solvent effect on total course of reaction has been found negligible. Furthermore, effects of different density functional theory functionals and functional groups on activation energies of [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of propargyl azide were also studied. BHHLYP, ωB97XD, M062X and BMK calculated ∆G‡ are consistent with B3LYP.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Thermal stability of different choline based amino acid ionic liquids were studied. Both short term as well as long term thermal studies were carried out. Long term thermal studies of all ILs were carried out by isothermal TGA and short term thermal studies were measured by temperature ramped TGA. Isothermal TGA were studied at two different temperatures 100 °C and 150 °C for 500 min. Whereas, short term thermal stability represents as T2%, T5% and T10% which are the temperature at which 2%, 5% and 10% mass loss of ILs were observed. The effect of alkyl side chain on the cation, etherification of the cation as well structural variation of anion on the thermal stability of choline based ILs were investigated. It was observed that thermal characteristics of ILs towards temperature ramped TGA were different compared to isothermal TGA.
