(i)1H NMR spectra of oleic acid (a), geranic acid (b), and choline bicarbonate (c); (ii) Esterification reactions between (a) oleic acid and choline cation to produce choline oleate [hydrogens (b) and (d) are the most affected by NMR spectra, when the 1H NMR spectrum of the ester is compared with the acid one], and (b) geranic acid and choline cation to produce choline geranate [hydrogens (a), (c), and (d) are the most affected by NMR spectra, when the 1H NMR spectrum of the ester is compared with the acid one].
