A simple method is described for an efficient conversion of variety of trimethylsilyl (TMS) and tetrahydropyranyl (THP) ethers into their corresponding esters with acid chlorides in the presence of montmorillonite K-10.

Graphene oxide (GrO) prepared by the Hummers method was separated into three different fractions (GrO5000, GrO2000, and GrOres) on the basis of their dispersion stability in the water. Infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and elemental analyses revealed that GrO5000 possesses a high degree of oxygen functionalities including phenolic, carboxylic, and -OSO2H groups, compared with the other fractions. The GrO5000 was found to be a highly efficient and reusable solid catalyst for the esterification of various carboxylic acids with a variety of alcohols to furnish corresponding esters in high to excellent yields. The catalytic activity of the GrO5000 was attributed to the ability of highly polar GrO5000 scaffold to adsorb/attract reactants, where the acid functionalities of GrO5000 facilitated the esterification process efficiently. The chemical and structural features of GrO5000 were discussed to understand the improved catalytic activity compared with GrO2000 and conventional solid acid catalysts.

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.

In this work, a new Fe3O4/AlFe/Te nanocomposite was synthesized by a one-step sol–gel method. The Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were prepared and then mixed with aluminum telluride (Al2Te3) in an alkali medium to produce the desired catalyst. After characterization of the Fe3O4/AlFe/Te nanocomposite by SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, and ICP analyses, it was used in the esterification reaction. This heterogeneous catalyst showed high catalytic activity in the esterification of commercially available carboxylic acids with various alcohols to produce the desired esters at high conversions under neat conditions. The Fe3O4/AlFe/Te nanocomposites were separated from the reaction mixture via an external magnet and re-used 8 times without significant loss of catalytic activity.

A methodology to build (E)-β-alkoxy- and (E)-β-aryloxyacrylate moieties from acetate and formate esters promoted by the TiCl4/Et3N system is presented. The reaction is compatible with a broad range of structural skeletons and elapses through an unusual condensation pathway. Taking into account the obtained results, we propose a plausible mechanism involving a bimetallic titanium intermediate for this type of transformation.
Microwave-Assisted Catalytic Acetylation of Alcohols by Gold-Nanoparticle-Supported Gadolinium Complex

, p. 661 - 672 (2015/10/29)
A gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-supported gadolinium complex (RS-Au-L-Gd) catalyst was prepared through simple chelation of GdCl3 to the surface-bound spacer, 1,4,7-tris(carboxymethyl)-10-(11-mercaptoundecyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (HSDO3A). This AuNP-supported Gd complex was found to be a highly effective catalyst for the acetylation of various alcohols and phenol in the presence of acetic anhydride. With a loading of 0.4 mol% of RS-Au-L-Gd, the almost complete transformation can be achieved in 60 s under microwave irradiation conditions. This hybrid catalyst was air stable, water soluble, dissolvable in many organic media, and precipitable. It can be readily recycled more than eight times without any significant loss of its catalytic activity. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT.

A Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase has been identified in the genome sequence of Dietzia sp. D5. Sequence similarity search revealed that the enzyme belongs to a group of BVMOs that are closely related to ethionamide monooxygenase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (EthA). The BVMO was expressed in E. coli BL21-CodonPlus(DE3)-RP and the best expression was achieved when the E. coli cells were cultivated in terrific broth (TB) at 15 °C and induced with 0.1 mM of IPTG. Since the purified enzyme did not show any measurable activity, the substrate scope of the BVMO has been determined using whole-cell and crude cell extract systems. The enzyme was most active towards linear aliphatic substrates. However, it has shown a moderate degree of conversion for cyclobutanone, 2-methylcyclohexanone, bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one, phenylacetone and thioanisole. There was no detectable conversion of ethionamide, cyclohexanone and acetophenone.

An efficient and selective method for acetylation of alcohols using ZnO nanopowder is described. In this method, alcohols are refluxed with a mixture of CH3COOH in the presence of catalytic amounts of ZnO nanopowder to afford their corresponding esters in good yields. This methodology is highly efficient for various structurally different alcohols: 1°, 2°, 3°. The prepared nano zinc oxide used in acetylation of alcohols which in comparison to ordinary ZnO has apparent advantages in promoting the yields of product formation.

Vitamin B1 supported on silica-encapsulated γ-Fe 2O3 nanoparticles: Design, characterization and application as a greener biocatalyst for highly efficient acylation

, p. 8812 - 8816 (2014/03/21)
A new magnetic catalyst was synthesized by the immobilization of vitamin B1 (thiamine hydrochloride) on the surface of silica-encapsulated γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. Its capability was evaluated in the acylation of alcohols and phenols with acetic anhydride under solvent-free conditions and afforded the desired products in high yield. This novel magnetic organocatalyst could be separated from the reaction vessel by use of an external magnet and recovered 5 times without a significant loss of its activity. The amount of loaded vitamin B1 on the silica-encapsulated γ-Fe2O3 was assigned by TGA and confirmed by back titration. Availability, cheapness and low toxicity are reasons associated with the utilization of vitamin B1 as a catalyst. The catalyst has been characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, VSM and TG/DTA.
