Considering the main characteristics of ionic liquids versus bio-based solvents, which is the most appropriate solvent for degradation of some organophosphorate pesticides in order to obtain a more eco-friendly process? The solvent effect was studied by mean of half-lives (t1/2, h) through a kinetic study, which was followed by 31P NMR and UV/vis. The results showed that the use of bio-based solvents as media for degradation of Fenitrothion (1) and Paraoxon (2) not only leads to a more efficient degradation but also assures a more sustainable process.
