Choline hexanoate, CAS: N/A

Key Applications:

1. Biomass Processing & Green Solvent Systems

• Serves as a biocompatible solvent for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment, enhancing cellulose accessibility for enzymatic hydrolysis.
• Supports selective dissolution of lignin and hemicellulose, enabling fractionation workflows in sustainable materials research.
• Used in deep eutectic solvent (DES) formulations for environmentally friendly extraction and catalysis.

2. Catalysis & Organic Synthesis

• Functions as a reaction medium for esterification, transesterification, and other acid/base‑sensitive transformations.
• Enhances reaction selectivity in systems requiring mild, non‑volatile, and tunable solvent environments.
• Employed in biocatalytic processes, where choline‑based ionic liquids improve enzyme stability and activity.

3. Surfactant, Emulsification & Self‑Assembly Studies

• Acts as an amphiphilic ionic liquid useful for micelle formation, colloidal stabilization, and interfacial behavior studies.
• Supports formulation development in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food science research where mild, biodegradable surfactants are preferred.

4. Polymer & Materials Science

• Used as a plasticizer or processing aid in biodegradable polymer systems.
• Facilitates polymer dissolution, swelling, or surface modification, particularly in cellulose‑based and bio‑derived materials.
• Serves as a medium for nanomaterial dispersion and stabilization.

5. Extraction & Separation Processes

• Effective for selective extraction of bioactive compounds, organic acids, and natural products.
• Applied in liquid–liquid extraction systems where hydrophobic ionic liquids improve partitioning efficiency.
• Supports purification workflows in metabolomics and natural product chemistry.

6. Analytical & Mechanistic Research

• Used in studies of ionic liquid structure–property relationships, hydrogen‑bonding networks, and amphiphilic behavior.
• Supports method development in NMR, FTIR, and rheology for characterizing DES and IL mixtures.
• Serves as a model compound in research on biodegradable ionic liquids and their environmental fate.
