Multi-enzymatic cascade reaction systems were designed to generate biopolymer monomers using Escherichia coli-based cell modules, capable of carrying out one-pot reactions. Three cell-based modules, including a ω-hydroxylation module (Cell-Hm) to convert fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) to ω-hydroxy fatty acids (ω-HFAs), an amination module (Cell-Am) to convert terminal alcohol groups of the substrate to amine groups, and a reduction module (Cell-Rm) to convert the carboxyl groups of fatty acids to alcohol groups, were constructed. The product-oriented assembly of these cell modules involving multi-enzymatic cascade reactions generated ω-ADAs (up to 46 mM), α,ω-diols (up to 29 mM), ω-amino alcohols (up to 29 mM) and α,ω-diamines (up to 21 mM) from 100 mM corresponding FAME substrates with varying carbon chain length (C8, C10, and C12). Finally 12-ADA and 1,12-diol were purified with isolated yields of 66.5% and 52.5%, respectively. The multi-enzymatic cascade reactions reported herein present an elegant ‘greener’ alternative for the biosynthesis of various biopolymer monomers from renewable saturated fatty acids.

Sophisticated chemical processes widely observed in biological cells require precise apportionment regulation of building units, which inspires researchers to develop tailorable architectures with controllable heterogeneity for replication, recognition and information storage. However, it remains a substantial challenge to endow multivariate materials with internal sequences and controllable apportionments. Herein, we introduce a novel strategy to manipulate the apportionment of functional groups in multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs) by preincorporating interlocked linkers into framework materials. As a proof of concept, the imprinted apportionment of functional groups within ZIF-8 was achieved by exchanging imine-based linker templates with original linkers initially. The removal of linker fragments by hydrolysis can be achieved via postsynthetic labilization, leading to the formation of architectures with controlled heterogeneity. The distributions of functional groups in the resulting imprinted MOFs can be tuned by judicious control of the interlocked chain length, which was further analyzed by computational methods. This work provides synthetic tools for precise control of pore environment and functionality sequences inside multicomponent materials.

The mechanochemical and selective reduction of aryl nitro and aryl/alkyl azide derivatives, with either formate salts or hydrazine, to the corresponding, synthetically useful amines occurs in excellent yields in a planetary ball mill without the addition of a catalyst. This newly developed and solvent-free protocol is efficient, fast and does not require the addition of a metal hydrogenation catalyst as the stainless steel jar itself fulfils that role. The method has been applied to a broad range of compounds and excellent yields have been obtained. The formylation of alkyl amines has been successfully performed, by means of mechanochemical activation, in the presence of ammonium formate alone.
