Basil seeds are widely cultivated throughout the world because of their extensive applications in various fields of life. The Basil seeds mucilage (BSM) exhibits remarkable phys. and chem. properties like high water absorbing capacity, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties. The extraction of this mucilage from the seed surface has always been done by phys. and chem. methods, which has certain drawbacks. Here, we report for the first time a chem. method for the effective extraction of this mucilage using ionic liquids (ILs); the green solvents. Pyridinium chloride based ILs were investigated for the effective extraction of mucilage and the process was optimized for various variables i.e. time, temperature, basil seed loading, co-solvents, anti-solvents. The extraction yield (up to 25% weight/weight of mucilage per basil seeds dry weight) was obtained at optimum conditions. Extracted mucilage was characterized by anal. techniques. The extracted BSM was used to prepare AuNps/BSM nanocomposite by stabilizing the gold nanoparticles. The AuNps/BSM nanocomposite was applied for the catalytic degradation of dyes (congo red; 12 min, methyl orange; 4 min, whereas 4-nitrophenol; 6 min). In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-Butyl-3-methylpyridinium Chloride (cas: 125652-55-3Electric Literature of C10H16ClN).
1-Butyl-3-methylpyridinium Chloride (cas: 125652-55-3) belongs to pyridine derivatives. Pyridines are an important class of heterocycles and occur in polysubstituted forms in many naturally occurring biologically active compounds, drug molecules and chiral ligands. Halopyridines are particularly attractive synthetic building blocks in a variety of cross-coupling methods, including the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction.Electric Literature of C10H16ClN
