- The dual role of micelles as templates and reducing agents for the fabrication of catalytically active hollow silver nanospheres
-
We report a simple and efficient protocol for fabrication of colloidal hollow silver nanospheres of size less than 30 nm using an ABC triblock copolymer poly(styrene-b-vinyl-2-pyridine-b-ethylene oxide) in the absence of any reducing agents. The colloidal silver hollow nanoparticles serve as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of ketones to the corresponding lactones in the presence of anhydrous tert-butylhydroperoxide under liquid-phase conditions.

- Preparation of clay-supported Sn catalysts and application to Baeyer-Villiger oxidation
-
Clay-intercalated Sn catalysts were prepared by a conventional cation-exchange method and used for the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of various ketones with hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. The intercalation of monomeric Sn species into the clay interlayer was monitored by solid-state 7Li MAS NMR. Solid-state 119Sn MAS NMR and Sn K-edge XAFS analysis revealed that an isolated Sn species, such as [SnIV(OH)x(H 2O)5-x](4-x)+ (x = 0-3), was formed in the clay interlayers. Our clay-intercalated Sn catalysts showed extremely high performance in Bayer-Villiger oxidation and were also reusable without any significant loss of activity or selectivity.

- Green, efficient and economical coal fly ash based phosphomolybdic acid catalysts: preparation, characterization and application
-
Abstract: Cost-effective, efficient and green solid acid catalysts have been synthesized by incipient wetness impregnation of various weight fractions of phosphomolybdic acid (5, 10, 15 and 25 wt. %) on mechanically and thermally activated coal fly ash. N2 adsorption–desorption, XRD, FT-IR, SEM, SEM–EDX, TEM, TGA, UV–Vis DRS, solid state 31P MAS NMR were used for characterization of as synthesized catalysts. Catalytic active sites were developed on inert surface of coal fly ash by using various activation techniques whose performance was assessed over a series of acylation of various aliphatic alcohols. For rapid and higher catalytic activity, reactions were conducted in microwave heating mode. Impregnation of phosphomolybdic acid generates Lewis acidic sites on coal fly ash surface as inferred by pyridine adsorbed FT-IR studies which were then utilized in acylation reactions. Various reaction parameters like weight fraction of catalysts, molar ratio of reactants, time, temperature, etc. were optimized for attaining highest conversion %. The catalyst with 15 wt. % of phosphomolybdic acid was found to be more efficient and could be recycled up to five reaction cycles with analogous conversion %. Negligible leaching of catalyst was confirmed by hot filtration test. This work suggests an alternative approach for valorisation of industrial solid waste, coal fly ash in development of innovative, economical solid catalysts.

- Synthesis, Characterisation, and Determination of Physical Properties of New Two-Protonic Acid Ionic Liquid and its Catalytic Application in the Esterification
-
A new ionic liquid was synthesised, and its chemical structure was elucidated by FT-IR, 1D NMR, 2D NMR, and mass analyses. Some physical properties, thermal behaviour, and thermal stability of this ionic liquid were investigated. The formation of a two-protonic acid salt namely 4,4′-trimethylene-N,N′-dipiperidinium sulfate instead of 4,4′-trimethylene-N,N′-dipiperidinium hydrogensulfate was evidenced by NMR analyses. The catalytic activity of this ionic liquid was demonstrated in the esterification reaction of n-butanol and glacial acetic acid under different conditions. The desired acetate was obtained in 62-88 % yield without using a Dean-Stark apparatus under optimal conditions of 10 mol-% of the ionic liquid, an alcohol to glacial acetic acid mole ratio of 1.3: 1.0, a temperature of 75-100°C, and a reaction time of 4 h. α-Tocopherol (α-TCP), a highly efficient form of vitamin E, was also treated with glacial acetic acid in the presence of the ionic liquid, and O-acetyl-α-tocopherol (Ac-TCP) was obtained in 88.4 % yield. The separation of esters was conducted during workup without the utilisation of high-cost column chromatography. The residue and ionic liquid were used in subsequent runs after the extraction of desired products. The ionic liquid exhibited high catalytic activity even after five runs with no significant change in its chemical structure and catalytic efficiency.

- Evaluation of gem-Diacetates as Alternative Reagents for Enzymatic Regio-and Stereoselective Acylation of Alcohols
-
Geminal diacetates have been used as sustainable acyl donors for enzymatic acylation of chiral and nonchiral alcohols. Especially, it was revealed that geminal diacetates showed higher reactivity than vinyl acetate for hydrolases that are sensitive to acetaldehyde. Under optimized conditions for enzymatic acylation, several synthetically relevant saturated and unsaturated acetates of various primary alcohols were obtained in very high yields up to 98% without E/Z isomerization of the double bond. Subsequently, the acyl donor was recreated from the resulting aldehyde and reused constantly in acylation. Therefore, the developed process is characterized by high atomic efficiency. Moreover, it was shown that acylation using geminal diacetates resulted in remarkable regioselectivity by discriminating among the primary and secondary hydroxyl groups in 1-phenyl-1,3-propanediol providing exclusively 3-acetoxy-1-phenyl-propan-1-ol in good yield. Further, enzymatic kinetic resolution (EKR) and chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) protocols were developed using geminal diacetate as an acylating agent, resulting in chiral acetates in high yields up to 94% with enantiomeric excesses exceeding 99%.

- Genome mining reveals new bacterial type I Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases with (bio)synthetic potential
-
Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) are oxidorreductases that catalyze the oxidation of ketones in a very selective manner. By genome mining we detected seven putative type I BVMOs in Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA 110. As we established the phylogenetic relationships among them and with other type I BVMOs, we found out that they belong to different clades of the phylogenetic tree. Thus, we decided to clone and heterologously express five of them. Three of them, each one from a divergent phylogenetic group, were obtained as soluble proteins, allowing us to proceed with their biocatalytic assessment and enzymatic characterization. As to substrate scope and selectivity, we observed a complementary behavior among the three BVMOs. BVMO2 was the more versatile biocatalyst in whole-cell systems while BVMO4 and BVMO5 showed a narrow substrate profile with preference for linear ketones and particular regioselectivity for (±)-cis-bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one.

- Enzyme-Catalyzed Synthesis of Esters in Water
-
MsAcT catalyzes the esterification of primary alcohols in water. When utilizing acid and alcohol as starting materials low yields dictated by thermodynamics were observed. However, with activated esters such as ethyl acetate and vinyl acetate very high yields of the desired ester can be achieved in combination with the appropriate alcohol. This study investigated both the intrinsic kinetic properties of MsAcT for the hydrolysis and transesterification of esters in water as well as the thermodynamics of the reaction. In comparison to the chemical or enzymatic ester synthesis using either toxic reagent, and harsh organic solvents, the MsAcT-catalyzed synthesis of esters of primary alcohols can be achieved efficiently in water without neutralization steps.

- Ester Synthesis in Water: Mycobacterium smegmatis Acyl Transferase for Kinetic Resolutions
-
The acyl transferase from Mycobacterium smegmatis (MsAcT) catalyses transesterification reactions in aqueous media because of its hydrophobic active site. Aliphatic cyanohydrin and alkyne esters can be synthesised in water with excellent and strikingly opposite enantioselectivity [(R);E>37 and (S);E>100, respectively]. When using this enzyme, the undesired hydrolysis of the acyl donor is an important factor to take into account. Finally, the choice of acyl donor can significantly influence the obtained enantiomeric excesses. (Figure presented.).

- Total Synthesis and Functional Evaluation of Fourteen Derivatives of Lysocin E: Importance of Cationic, Hydrophobic, and Aromatic Moieties for Antibacterial Activity
-
Lysocin E (1) is a structurally complex 37-membered depsipeptide comprising 12 amino-acid residues with an N-methylated amide and an ester linkage. Compound 1 binds to menaquinone (MK) in the bacterial membrane to exert its potent bactericidal activity. To decipher the biologically important functionalities within this unique antibiotic, we performed a comprehensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) study by systematically changing the side-chain structures of l-Thr-1, d-Arg-2, N-Me-d-Phe-5, d-Arg-7, l-Glu-8, and d-Trp-10. First, we achieved total synthesis of the 14 new side-chain analogues of 1 by employing a solid-phase strategy. We then evaluated the MK-dependent liposomal disruption and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus by 1 and its analogues. Correlating data between the liposome and bacteria experiments revealed that membrane lysis was mainly responsible for the antibacterial functions. Altering the cationic guanidine moiety of d-Arg-2/7 to a neutral amide, and the C7-acyl group of l-Thr-1 to the C2 or C11 counterpart decreased the antimicrobial activities four- or eight-fold. More drastically, chemical mutation of d-Trp-10 to d-Ala-10 totally abolished the bioactivities. These important findings led us to propose the biological roles of the side-chain functionalities.

- Carboxyl activation of 2-mercapto-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine through n-acyl-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2-thione: A chemical and spectrophotometric investigation
-
2-Mercapto-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine, as effective carboxyl activating group, has been successfully proved by converting it into respective acyl derivatives and the subsequent conversion to the amides and esters respectively using amines, amino alcohols and alcohols. The aminolysis and esterification were monitored chemically and spectrophotometrically. This paved way to establish that the above mercaptopyrimidine derivative is an efficient carboxyl activating group applicable in solid phase peptide synthesis.

- Synthesis of lipase nano-bio-conjugates as an efficient biocatalyst: Characterization and activity-stability studies with potential biocatalytic applications
-
In the present study, we have synthesized lipase-nano-bio-conjugates via immobilization of various lipases on multiwall carbon nano-tubes (MCNT), in order to construct an efficient and recyclable biocatalytic system. In a screening study lipase Pseudomonas fluorescens (PFL) acted as an efficient biocatalyst (lipase-nano-bio-conjugates) which showed higher retention of lipase activity and protein loading. Consequently the immobilization support : lipase (MCNT : PFL) composition was screened in which MCNT : PFL (2 : 1) was calculated as a robust biocatalyst composition which showed higher activity retention and protein loading. This nano-bio-conjugate was then characterized in detail with physical and biochemical techniques using SEM, TEM, FTIR, Km, Vmax, catalytic efficiency and (%) water content analysis. This developed biocatalyst was further used for practical biocatalytic applications such as O-acylation reactions. Various reaction parameters were optimized in detail like reactant molar ratio (2 : 3.5), solvent, MCNT : PFL biocatalyst amount (36 mg), temperature (50°C) etc. The developed biocatalytic protocol was then extended to synthesize several (twenty-two) industrially important acylated moieties with an excellent yield, these products are well characterized by 1HNMR, 13CNMR and GCMS analysis. Moreover in the present study, we have reviewed the potential industrial applications of various synthesized compounds. Also, we have studied the thermodynamic aspect which demonstrated more feasibility of use of immobilized MCNT : PFL lipase over free lipase. Interestingly, immobilized MCNT : PFL lipase showed 2.3 fold higher catalytic activity than free PFL. Besides this, the biocatalyst was efficiently recycled for up to five cycles. Thus the present protocol demonstrated, (i) synthesis of nano-bio-conjugates as a bio-catalyst, (ii) detailed physical-biochemical characterization of nano-bio-conjugates, (iii) optimization of the biocatalytic protocol (iv) practical biocatalytic applications along with a mechanistic study (v) a thermodynamic feasibility study and (vi) recyclability study. 2015

- A method for esterification reaction rate prediction of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids with primary alcohols in 1,4-dioxane based on two parametrical taft equation
-
Esterification reaction rates of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids with primary alcohols in 1,4-dioxane as inert solvent were investigated. Acids were esterified with 1-propanol and alcohols with acetic acid as model reactants at a constant temperature of 60°C, at a fixed ionic strength and pH in a batch reactor with a constant volume. For evaluation of reaction rates, an exact kinetic equation for the equilibrium reaction was applied. Under these conditions and for low reactants, concentrations reaction rate depends only on the structure of reactants and, therefore, can be predicted by a correlation equation with two Taft coefficients (inductive and steric effects). From these equations, it is possible to estimate the esterification reaction rate constant for other acid-alcohol pairs. This methodology may also be suitable for other kinetic systems measured under comparable experimental conditions.

- Expanding ester biosynthesis in Escherichia coli
-
To expand the capabilities of whole-cell biocatalysis, we have engineered Escherichia coli to produce various esters. The alcohol O-acyltransferase (ATF) class of enzyme uses acyl-CoA units for ester formation. The release of free CoA upon esterification with an alcohol provides the free energy to facilitate ester formation. The diversity of CoA molecules found in nature in combination with various alcohol biosynthetic pathways allows for the biosynthesis of a multitude of esters. Small to medium volatile esters have extensive applications in the flavor, fragrance, cosmetic, solvent, paint and coating industries. The present work enables the production of these compounds by designing several ester pathways in E. coli. The engineered pathways generated acetate esters of ethyl, propyl, isobutyl, 2-methyl-1-butyl, 3-methyl-1-butyl and 2-phenylethyl alcohols. In particular, we achieved high-level production of isobutyl acetate from glucose (17.2 g l -1). This strategy was expanded to realize pathways for tetradecyl acetate and several isobutyrate esters.

- Chemoselective palladium-catalyzed oxidation of vinyl ether to acetate using hydrogen peroxide
-
A practical and environmental-friendly method was developed to convert vinyl ether into acetate by using a palladium complex with phosphine ligand and hydrogen peroxide. The only by-product is water. Chemoselective oxidation of vinyl ether and tert-enamides to form acetate and N-acetyl amide with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of palladium complex having phosphine ligand was developed under mild reaction conditions. This process is environmentally friendly because it uses hydrogen peroxide as a clean oxidant, with water being the only byprocuct.

- Synthesis, characterization, and crystal structure of several novel acidic ionic liquids based on the corresponding 1-alkylbenzimidazole with tetrafluoroboric acid
-
A series of acidic task-specific ionic liquids 1-R2-2-R 1benzimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (R1 = Me, R2 = Me, Et, Pr-n, Bu-n, Pen-n) were prepared by simple acid-base neutralization of the corresponding 1-alkylbenzimidazole and tetrafluoroboric acid. The compounds were characterized by FTIR spectra, elemental analysis, 1HNMR spectra and thermogravimetric analysis. These new ionic liquids are nonvolatile, and have potential use as alternatives to conventional organic solvents due to their solubility and thermal stability. These novel tetrafluoroborate salts show good catalytic activity to esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols under mild reaction conditions, which could maintain good catalytic performance after recycling at least six times. Furthermore, a crystal of one compound, [H-bmBim]BF4, was prepared, with the crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The molecular structure is formed by weak π-π interactions and intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the benzimidazole rings, yielding a three-dimensional net-like supramolecule.

Primary alcohols and diols with various structures were subjected to transformations into esters, aldehydes, ketones, and lactones under the action of carbon tetrachloride in the presence of manganese compounds (MnCl 2, MnO2, Mn(OAc)2, Mn(acac)3) and vanadium compounds (VCl5, V2O5, VO(acac) 2) as catalysts. These transformation proceeded with the involvement of alkyl hypochlorites, which were generated in the course of oxidation of alcohols with carbon tetrachloride catalyzed by manganese or vanadium compounds. The optimum molar ratios between the catalyst and reagents were determined, and the reaction conditions for the highly selective synthesis of esters, aldehydes, ketones, and lactones from alcohols were found.

- Preparation of optically active 2-halopropionic acids
-
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of optically active 2--halopropionic acids, in which the corresponding optically active alkyl 2--halopropionates are caused to react with a carboxylic acid at elevated temperature in a transacylation reaction with the formation of the optically active 2--halopropionic acid and the alkyl carboxylate, and the optically active 2--halopropionic acid obtained is separated from the reaction mixture. The optically active products produced are important intermediates for the preparation of plant protectants and pharmaceuticals.

- Hydroxyl-radical-initiated oxidation of isobutyl isopropyl ether under laboratory conditions related to the troposphere. Product studies and proposed mechanism
-
The products formed by the hydroxyl-radical-initiated oxidation of the model ether, isobutyl isopropyl ether [(CH3)2CHCH2OCH(CH3)2], have been investigated by irradiating synthetic air mixtures containing the substrate, methyl nitrite, and nitric oxide at ppm levels in a Teflon bag reactor at room temperature. The decay of reactant and formation of products were monitored by gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and by HPLC. The molar yields of the major products (mol of product formed/mol of isobutyl isopropyl ether consumed) were as follows: acetone, 0.56 ± 0.04; isopropyl formate, 0.48 ± 0.03; isobutyl acetate, 0.28 ± 0.02; 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl acetate [CH3C(O)OCH2C(OH)(CH3)2], 0.25 ± 0.1. The molar yields of the minor products were as follows: isobutyraldehyde, 0.06 ± 0.05; isopropyl nitrate, 0.09 ± 0.06; 1,1,4-trimethyl-3-oxapentyl nitrate [(CH3)2CHOCH2C(CH3) 2(ONO2)], 0.07 ± 0.02; isopropyl isobutyrate [(CH3)2CHC(O)OCH(CH3)2] ca. 0.01; and isobutyl formate, ca. 0.01. The major products are explained by a mechanism involving initial OH attack at the -CH- and -CH2- groups in the alkyl side chains of the ether followed by the subsequent reactions of the resulting carbon-centred, organic peroxy, and organic oxy radicals. The observed products, in conjunction with the proposed reaction pathways, account for a total yield of about 1.15, indicating that all the main routes are accounted for in the degradation of this ether. The major reaction pathways of the three principal organic oxy radicals are summarised as follows (percentage of overall reaction in brackets): (CH3)2C(O)OCH2CH(CH3) 2 → CH3C(O)OCH2CH(CH3)2 + CH3 (28%) (CH3)2CHOCH(O)CH(CH3)2 → (CH3)2CHOC(O)H + CH(CH3)2 (≤48%) (CH3)2CHOCH2C(O)(CH3) 2 → (CH3)2COCH2C(OH)(CH3) 2 (25%) This study supports the finding that organic oxy radicals generated from ethers and containing the structure RCH(O.)OR undergo mainly decomposition by C-C bond cleavage, whereas those oxy radicals with the structure RCH(O.)CH2OR undergo preferential 1,5-H-atom transfer isomerisation reactions. The following rate coefficients (10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1) at room temperature for the reactions of OH radicals with the reactant and products have been determined by the relative rate technique: isobutyl isopropyl ether, 19.5 ± 0.4; isobutyl acetate, 6.0 ± 0.5; isobutyraldehyde, 25.8 ± 0.7; isopropyl formate, 2.1 ± 0.1; isopropyl isobutyrate, 6.5 ± 0.4; 1,1,4-trimethyl-3-oxapentyl nitrate, 16.5 ± 0.7; and 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl acetate, 9.5 ± 1.6.

- Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of aliphatic acetals with N-chlorobenzamide
-
The oxidation kinetics of thirteen aliphatic acetals of normal aliphatic aldehydes and substituted aliphatic aldehydes with aliphatic and substituted aliphatic as well as with aromatic alcohols by N-chlorobenzamide (NCB) in aqueous acetic acid medium follows first order and zero order dependence in [NCB] and [acetal] respectively and yields the corresponding esters as the main product of oxidation. (H2OCl)+ has been postulated as the oxidizing species.

- Cobalt(II)chloride catalysed cleavage of ethers with acyl halides: Scope and mechanism
-
Cobalt(II) chloride in acetonitrile catalyses the cleavage of a wide variety of ethers with acyl halides under mild conditions to give the corresponding esters in good yields. Acyclic aliphatic ethers are cleaved to the corresponding ester and chlorides whereas the cyclic aliphatic ethers give rise to the ω-chloroesters. The benzyl ethers can be converted to the corresponding esters along with the formation of benzyl chloride and benzyl acetamide. A comparative study for the cleavage of allyl and benzyl ether has revealed that benzyl ether can be selectively cleaved in presence of the allyl ethers. The oxiranes can be cleaved in highly regioselective manner to the corresponding-β-chloroesters. The vinyl ethers undergo sp2-hybridised carbon-oxygen bond cleavage under these conditions. Based on product analysis, a mechanism involving electron transfer followed by O-acylation and S(N)1 or S(N)2 attack by chloride-ion is discussed.

- Kinetics and Mechanisms of Nucleophilic Displacement with Heterocycles as Leaving Groups. 17. Solvolysis of 14-(Primary alkyl)-5,6,8,9-tetrahydro-7-phenyldibenzoacridiniums: Rates, Identification of Products, Activation Parameters, and a General Discussion of Mechanism
-
Solvolysis rate are reported for the Me, Et, n-Pr, n-Pent, n-Oct, i-Bu, neo-Pent, PhCH2CH2, and MeOCH2CH2 title compounds in MeOH, EtPH, PentOH, CH3CO2H, and CF3CO2H.Rate variations with alkyl group structure are far less than the corresponding rate variations for the tosylate solvolysis, and afford no evidence for rate-enhancing participation by β-phenyl or β-methoxy groups in the acridinium solvolyses.The n-propyl, n-pentyl, and n-octyl title compounds solvolyze in CH3OD and CH3CO2D to give mixtures of normal and rearranged products, none of which contain deuterium and which are therefore not formed via olefin intermediates.Methanolysis of the isobutyl title compounds occurs via olefin, but the acetolysis also involves an important nonolefinic pathway yielding isobutyl and sec-butyl acetates.Methanolysis products from the neopentyl derivative are heavily deuterated, but acetolysis yields undeuterated neopentyl acetate as well as deuterated tert-pentyl acetate.Product proportions calculated using GC/MS were used to deduce the fractions of reactions by various mechanistic pathways.Individual rates are calculated for solvolysis to the various unrearranged and rearranged products.They indicate that normal substitution in MeOH occurs by a classical SN2 reaction, but that such substitution in AcOH involves ion-pair intermediates.It is concluded that such ion pairs under go Me and H migration after the rate-determining stage, in competition with substitution.Activation parameters provide further evidence for the mechanistic paths proposed which are discussed in relation to literature data available for the corresponding tosylate.
