- Synthesis of acylglycerol derivatives by mechanochemistry
-
In recent times, many biologically relevant building blocks such as amino acids, peptides, saccharides, nucleotides and nucleosides, etc. have been prepared by mechanochemical synthesis. However, mechanosynthesis of lipids by ball milling techniques has remained essentially unexplored. In this work, a multistep synthetic route to access mono- and diacylglycerol derivatives by mechanochemistry has been realized, including the synthesis of diacylglycerol-coumarin conjugates.

- Lipidomics characterization of biosynthetic and remodeling pathways of cardiolipins in genetically and nutritionally manipulated yeast cells
-
Cardioipins (CLs) are unique tetra-acylated phospholipids of mitochondria and define the bioenergetics and regulatory functions of these organelles. An unresolved paradox is the high uniformity of CL molecular species (tetra-linoleoyl-CL) in the heart, liver, and skeletal muscles-in contrast to their high diversification in the brain. Here, we combined liquid chromatography-mass-spectrometry-based phospholipidomics with genetic and nutritional manipulations to explore CLs' biosynthetic vs postsynthetic remodeling processes in S. cerevisiae yeast cells. By applying the differential phospholipidomics analysis, we evaluated the contribution of Cld1 (CL-specific phospholipase A) and Taz1 (acyl-transferase) as the major regulatory mechanisms of the remodeling process. We further established that nutritional "pressure" by high levels of free fatty acids triggered a massive synthesis of homoacylated molecular species in all classes of phospholipids, resulting in the preponderance of the respective homoacylated CLs. We found that changes in molecular speciation of CLs induced by exogenous C18-fatty acids (C18:1 and C18:2) in wild-type (wt) cells did not occur in any of the remodeling mutant cells, including cld1Δ, taz1Δ, and cld1Δtaz1Δ. Interestingly, molecular speciation of CLs in wt and double mutant cells cld1Δtaz1Δ was markedly different. Given that the bioenergetics functions are preserved in the double mutant, this suggests that the accumulated MLCL-rather than the changed CL speciation-are the likely major contributors to the mitochondrial dysfunction in taz1Δ mutant cells (also characteristic of Barth syndrome). Biochemical studies of Cld1 specificity and computer modeling confirmed the hydrolytic selectivity of the enzyme toward C16-CL substrates and the preservation of C18:1-containing CL species.

- Synthesis of glycerol monostearate over K2CO3/γ-Al2O3 catalyst
-
The synthesis of glycerol monostearate by transesterification of methyl stearate with glycerol can be carried out in the presence of basic catalyst. The absence of solvent in the reaction system would result in a low conversion of methyl stearate as a consequence of low miscibility between reactants. The addition N,N′-dimethyl formamide as solvent improved the activity of the catalyst and selectivity to glycerol monostearate. Different K2CO3-containing γ-Al2O3 catalysts were made and used in the reaction. The results showed that catalyst with higher basicity could lead to better reactant's conversion but poorer selectivity to glycerol monostearate and the optimal load of K2CO3 inducing the highest yield to glycerol monostearate was 20 % mass fraction of γ-Al2O3 supporter. At a glycerol/methyl stearate ratio of 6:1, 165°C, 2 wt. % catalyst amount, a yield of 82.21 % of glycerol monostearate was achieved after 5h.

- 1-O-Alkyl (di)glycerol ethers synthesis from methyl esters and triglycerides by two pathways: Catalytic reductive alkylation and transesterification/reduction
-
From available and bio-sourced methyl esters, monoglycerides or oleic sunflower refined oil, the corresponding 1-O-alkyl (di)glycerol ethers were obtained in both high yields and selectivity by two different pathways. With methyl esters, a reductive alkylation with (di)glycerol was realized under 50 bar hydrogen pressure in the presence of 1 mol% of Pd/C and an acid co-catalyst. A second two step procedure was evaluated from methyl esters or triolein and consisted of a first transesterification to the corresponding monoglyceride with a BaO/Al2O3 catalyst, then its reduction to the desired glycerol monoether with a recyclable heterogeneous catalytic system Pd/C and Amberlyst 35 under H2 pressure. In addition, a mechanism for the reaction was also proposed.

- 13C NMR quantification of mono and diacylglycerols obtained through the solvent-free lipase-catalyzed esterification of saturated fatty acids
-
In the present investigation, we studied the enzymatic synthesis of monoacylglycerols (MAG) and diacylglycerols (DAG) via the esterification of saturated fatty acids (stearic, palmitic and an industrial residue containing 87% palmitic acid) and glycerol in a solvent-free system. Three immobilized lipases (Lipozyme RM IM, Lipozyme TL IM and Novozym 435) and different reaction conditions were evaluated. Under the optimal reaction conditions, esterifications catalyzed by Lipozyme RM IM resulted in a mixture of MAG and DAG at high conversion rates for all of the substrates. In addition, except for the reaction of industrial residue at atmospheric pressure, all of these products met the World Health Organization and European Union directives for acylglycerol mixtures for use in food applications. The products were quantified by 13C NMR, with the aid of an external reference signal which was generated from a sealed coaxial tube filled with acetonitrile-d3. After calibrating the area of this signal using the classical external reference method, the same coaxial tube was used repeatedly to quantify the reaction products. Copyright

- Design of well balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic catalytic surfaces for the direct and selective monoesterification of various polyols
-
The transesterification process is a well known reaction of organic chemistry. However, the monoesterification of unprotected polyols such as glycerol or sucrose is much more complex and the design of selective catalysts is becoming a huge challenge in order to avoid many protection and deprotection steps, harmful for the cost and the environmental impact of the resulting process. In this study, we showed that the control of the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of heterogeneous catalysts is a crucial key in order to tune both the catalyst activity and the monoester selectivity. Indeed, whereas homogeneous guanidine led to low selectivity toward monoesters, its anchorage on a hydrophilic solid support such as silica allowed us to prepare two basic hybrid organic-inorganic materials able to selectively afford monoesters in high yield and in an environmentally-friendly process, at low temperature and starting from an equimolecular mixture of unprotected polyols and various fatty methyl esters.

- Synthesis and analysis of symmetrical and nonsymmetrical disaturated/monounsaturated triacylglycerols
-
Symmetrical disaturated triacylglycerols of the structure SUS, where S is stearic acid (18:0) and U is an unsaturated fatty acid, either oleic (O; 9cis-18:1), linoleic (L; 9cis, 12cis-18:2), or linolenic (Ln; 9cis, 12cis, 15cis-18:3), are important components providing functionality to interesterified fat blends and structurally modified oils. Nonsymmetrical triacylglycerols of the structure SSU can significantly change melting point and solid fat content profiles. To characterize the physical properties of pure and symmetrical and nonsymmetrical triacylglycerol mixtures, the same reaction sequence has been used to prepare multigram quantities of triacylglycerols SUS and SSU. Tristearin was converted to a mixture of mono-, di-, and triacylglycerols, and the 1,3- and 1,2-diacylglycerol fraction was isolated by silica column chromatography. The 1,3-diacylglycerols were removed by crystallization from acetone and esterified with the appropriate fatty acid to form the symmetrical triacylglycerols with >99% SUS structure. The more difficult to obtain 1,2-diacylglycerols were prepared by esterification of the enriched 1,2-diacylglycerol fraction (80-86% 1,2-diacylglycerols) remaining after removal of much of the 1,3-isomer by crystallization, but silver resin or silver nitrate impregnated silica gel chromatography was required to isolate the nonsymmetrical triacylglycerols. SSL and SSLn were prepared in purities of >98% by this procedure, but not SSO. Silver ion HPLC was found to be as accurate as, and more rapid than, lipolysis/gas chromatography for the determination of the isomeric purities of the synthesized triacylglycerols.

- 1H-Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies of saturated, acetylenic and ethylenic triacylglycerols
-
The 1H-NMR spectroscopic properties of 15 synthetic homologous saturated triacylglycerols of type AAA and 16 mixed saturated triacylglycerols of type ABA and AAB have been studied. Triacylglycerols containing short-chain fatty acids (2:0-6:0) are readily identified. Triacylglycerols containing medium- and long-chain fatty acid components are not differentiated. From the analysis of 19 acetylenic triacylglycerols of type AAA, ABA and AAB (containing positional isomers of acetylenic fatty acids), it is only possible to characterize triacylglycerols with acyl groups containing the acetylenic bond at the Δ2-Δ5 position. 1H-NMR analysis could not confirm the positions (α- or β-acyl) of the acetylenic acids in mixed triacylglycerols. In the study of 22 ethylenic triacylglycerols of type AAA containing positional isomers of (Z)- or (E)-ethylenic acids, molecules containing an ethylenic bond in the Δ2 position of the acyl chains were readily characterized, as the ethylenic protons in the α- and β-acyl chains were fully resolved. Triacylglycerols containing an unsaturated center at the position were characterized by the shifts of the 2-H protons. The spectra of the remaining triacylglycerol molecules were very similar and the position of the ethylenic system could not be determined by this technique.

- Synthesis of Triglycerides from 1,3-Dibromopropan-2-ol
-
1,3-Dibromopropan-2-ol (I) was converted into an acyl derivative (VI) by reaction with an appropriate acyl chloride in the presence of pyridine.The acyl derivative (VI) was subjected to nucleophilic substitution with 3 mol. equiv. tris(decyl)methylammonium carboxylate in refluxing hexane.This led to symmetrical diacid triglycerides in 90-94percent yield.Substitution with an equimolar amount of the carboxylate afforded, predominantly, the 1,2-bisacyloxy-3-bromopropane (VII) which could be easily isolated and further substituted to give unsymmetrical diacid- and triacid-triglycerides in ca. 96percent yield.Lipolysis showed the synthetic triglycerides to be ca. 99percent pure.
