27. Methylene chloride also aided purification of the ionic liquid by promoting precipitation of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium halide that remained due to incomplete metathesis to the tetrafluoroborate salt. Methylene chloride is not a green solvent and could be replaced by another solvent in future work.
28. High pH as well as heat, light, or transition metals accelerate the oxidation of ascorbic acid or its esters: M. Y. Jung, S. K. Kim and S. Y. Kim, Food Chem., 1995, 53, 397; R. H. Bisby, C. G. Morgan, I. Hamblett and A. A. Gorman, J. Phys. Chem. A, 1999, 103, 7454 and references therein. Thus sodium carbonate likely catalyzes oxidation of ascorbic acid and its esters. Indeed, the reaction mixture turned brown when it was not protected from air.
