“…The process is gentle and does not require any pretreatment, reaction media, or generation of toxic byproducts, which is a marked departure from the preparation of other commonly used ionic liquids that typically necessitate ion exchange or intense exothermic reactions. [ 21,23,24 ] Notably, we selected three different types of amino acids, including acidic amino acids (L‐glutamic acid (Glu) and L‐aspartic acid (Asp)), basic amino acids (L‐Lysine (Lys), L‐Arginine (Arg), L‐Histidine (His)), neutral amino acids (L‐proline (Pro), D‐serine (Ser), L‐threonine (Thr), Glycine (Gly), L‐Valine (Val), L‐Leucine (Leu), L‐tyrosine (Tyr), and L‐Tryptophan (Try)), as anion donors (Figure S1, Supporting Information). Only ten SAAILs, namely [DBN][Pro], [DBU][Pro], [DBN][Asp], [DBU][Asp], [DBN][Glu], [DBU][Glu], [DBN][Thr], [DBU][Thr], [DBN][Ser], and [DBU][Ser], were obtained (Figure 2b; Figure S2, Supporting Information).…”
