In this paper, we study the activity and specificity of EstDZ2, a new thermostable carboxyl esterase of unknown function, which was isolated from a metagenome library from a Russian hot spring. The biocatalytic reaction employing EstDZ2 proved to be an efficient method for the hydrolysis of aryl p-, o- or m-substituted esters of butyric acid and esters of secondary alcohols. Docking studies revealed structural features of the enzyme that led to activity differences among the different substrates.

A novel tropylium-based coupling reagent has been developed to facilitate the synthesis of a series of esters, amides, lactones and peptides under mild reaction conditions. Remarkably, this reagent can be used in catalytic amounts in conjunction with a sacrificial reagent, offering a new and efficient method for nucleophilic coupling reactions of carboxylic acids.

Constant-current electrolysis, in an undivided cell, of Ph3P in the presence of a carboxylic acid in CH2Cl2 containing 2,6-lutidinium perchlorate as the supporting electrolyte was shown to generate the corresponding acyloxyphosphonium ion, Ph3P+-OCOR, which was converted in situ to esters, amides, and β-lactams under mild conditions.
