The synthesis of a series of ionic liquids using 1-butyl 3-methylimidazolium (Bmim+) as a cation and different amino acids (AA) as anions (Bmim[AA]) is described. These ILs were used for the first time as reaction media to achieve more eco-friendly Paraoxon degradation. The results show that the degradation of Paraoxon in these Bmim[AA]s is accomplished with great efficiency and without an extra nucleophilic agent. Therefore, we propose that all the Bmim[AA]s used in this study have a dual role in the outcome of this reaction; as a nucleophile and a solvent to carry out degradation of the organophosphorous pesticide, Paraoxon. Both kinetics and product distribution results found in this study for Paraoxon degradation turned out to be promising, because this process is achieved in a reaction medium with a better environmental profile.
