General description

Choline hydroxide solution, also known as choline base, is a strong organic base that can be used in the chemical industry as a solvent, catalyst, and corrosion inhibitor. It can also be used as a stabilizer for quaternary ammonium compounds and as a phase transfer agent in organic synthesis.

Application

Choline hydroxide solution can be used as a catalyst in the efficient conversion of CO2 and 2-aminobenzonitriles to quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione derivatives.

The ionic liquid choline bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [Chol][Tf2N], was used for the extraction of neodymium(III), in combination with choline hexafluoroacetylacetonate, [Chol][hfac], as the extractant. The binary mixture of [Chol][Tf2N] and water shows temperature-dependent phase behavior, with an upper critical solution temperature of
