Introduction

Amino acids have attracted considerable attention because of their remarkable properties, including wide sources, low cost, and high suitability for modifications. There are more than 20 kinds of natural amino acids (such as glycine, alanine, methionine, glutamic acid, etc.), which contain natural chiral sources and are ideal precursors for the preparation of chiral compounds. Amino acid contains both amino and carboxylic acid residues in a single molecule, forming strong hydrogen bonding ability. Amino acid ionic liquids with specific functions can be designed and synthesized by modifying or changing the substituent groups of amino acid side chains with a simple method. Amino acids can be used as cations or anions to provide stable chiral centers, which is one of the few chiral ionic liquids provided by anions. In addition, compared with conventional ionic liquids, AAILs are more environmentally friendly with strong biodegradability and biocompatibility.
