Due to increasing demands for ecofriendly processes within the framework of green chemistry, and having shown substantial properties, especially in terms of toxicity, biodegradability, cost, and ease of preparation under ambient conditions, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have become a suitable candidate as green solvents for reaction media in the past decade. In this work, condensation reaction of some para‐ and meta‐substituted benzaldehydes and Malononitrile was kinetically investigated in ethylene glycol‐choline chloride (ethaline) as a DES mixed with water, in the whole range of mole fractions, at room temperature. The correlation of second‐order rate coefficients based on Hammett's substituent constants yield a linear straight line with positive slope in different mole fractions of ethaline–water mixtures. The measured second‐order rate coefficients of the reaction showed a dramatic variation in ethaline–water mixtures with the increasing mole fraction of water.
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.
