Silica-supported tantalum hydride activates at low temperature the C-H and the C-D bonds of cyclooctane and CD4, respectively, to form the corresponding cyclooctyl and perdeuteriomethyl-tantalum surface complexes; these complexes are transformed under molecular oxygen into the corresponding tantalum-alkoxy derivatives which with acetic acid give rise to the corresponding alkylacetates.

The cytochrome P450 monooxygenase CYP101B1 from Novosphingobium aromaticivorans selectively hydroxylated methylene C-H bonds in cycloalkyl rings. Cycloketones and cycloalkyl esters containing C6, C8, C10 and C12 rings were oxidised with high selectively on the opposite side of the ring to the carbonyl substituent. Cyclodecanone was oxidised to oxabicycloundecanol derivatives in equilibrium with the hydroxycyclodecanones.

The application of sulfonic acid-functionalized periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) having either phenyl (1a) or ethyl (1b) bridging groups was investigated in the esterification of a variety of alcohols and fatty acids. It was found that 1b consistently exhibited higher catalytic performance than 1a in the described reaction. In particular, it was proposed that the superior catalytic activity of 1b in esterification of fatty acids with methanol is a result of adequate hydrophobic-hydrophilic surface balance in the ethyl PMO catalyst. In addition, the study of chemoselective acylation of 1,3-butanediol with dodecanoic acid with varied mesoporous silica-supported solid sulfonic acids including both 1a and 1b implies that there is a compromise between the reaction selectivity and the surface physicochemical properties of the employed catalyst. Our results clearly show that the catalyst having high surface hydrophilic nature gives high selectivity toward the formation of mono-acylated products whereas those with relatively high hydrophobic characteristics showed enhanced selectivity toward the formation of di-acylated products.
