- Sustainable electroorganic synthesis of lignin-derived dicarboxylic acids
-
The oxidative ring opening of lignin-derived alkylated cyclohexanols to bio-based alkylated dicarboxylic acids is successfully performed by an electrocatalytic conversion. To establish this transformation as a green method, we developed a simple protocol for the anodic oxidation at nickel oxide-hydroxide (NiOOH) foam anodes in caustic soda in both a batch and flow electrolysis approach.

- Palladium Complexes with Bulky Diphosphine Ligands as Highly Selective Catalysts for the Synthesis of (Bio-) Adipic Acid from Pentenoic Acid Mixtures.
-
A series of sterically bulky diphosphines have been prepared, including P2 = trans-1,2-bis[(di-tert-butylphosphino)methyl]cyclohexane (4), (2-methylenepropane-1,3-diyl)bis(di-tert-butylphosphine) (5), bis[(di-tert-butylphosphino)methyl]dimethylsilane (6), and cis- and trans-11,12-bis[(di-tert-butylphosphino)methyl]-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene (10 and 11). The corresponding palladium complexes of these ligands, P2Pd(CF3CO2)2, have been synthesized and characterized. The solid-state structures of [Pd(4)(CF3CO2)2], [Pd(5)(CF3CO2)2], [Pd(6)(CF3CO2)2], and [Pd(11)(CF3CO2)2] were obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and confirm the bidentate binding mode of the ligand and a square-planar coordination geometry with a minor distortion from the ideal. The diphosphines in combination with Pd(OAc)2 have been applied in the hydroxycarbonylation of a mixture of pentenoic acid isomers to produce adipic acid with high selectivity (in several cases >95%). The (regio)selectivity of the hydroxycarbonylation reaction is highly dependent on the P2 diphosphine ligand structure, particularly the steric bulk of the substituents on the diphosphine donor and the P-Pd-P bite angle in the complexes, with respectively tertiary alkyl phosphine substituents (tert-butyl, adamantyl) and a C4 backbone P-Pd-P bite angle >100° being the common features of highly adipic acid selective systems. It is suggested that the regioselectivity of hydroxycarbonylation becomes largely driven by the chelation of the carboxylic acid functionality of pentenoic acid substrates, when smaller size P substituents and/or when P2 ligands with smaller bite angles (100°) are applied.

- CONVERSION OF NITRILE COMPOUNDS INTO CORRESPONDING CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND ESTERS
-
Hydrocarbon compounds having at least one nitrile function are converted into compounds having at least one carboxylic function by hydrating the nitrile functions into amide functions by reaction with water in the presence of a strong inorganic acid, and then hydrolyzing the amide functions into carboxylic functions by reaction with water and a strong inorganic acid; the carboxylic compounds thus obtained can be esterified into diesters, advantageously diester solvents.

- Enzymatic nitrile hydrolysis catalyzed by nitrilase ZmNIT2 from maize. An unprecedented β-hydroxy functionality enhanced amide formation
-
To explore the synthetic potential of nitrilase ZmNIT2 from maize, the substrate specificity of this nitrilase was studied with a diverse collection of nitriles. The nitrilase ZmNIT2 showed high activity for all the tested nitriles except benzonitrile, producing both acids and amides. For the hydrolysis of aliphatic, aromatic nitriles, phenylacetonitrile derivatives and dinitriles, carboxylic acids were the major products. Unexpectedly, amides were found to be the major products in nitrilase ZmNIT2-catalyzed hydrolysis of β-hydroxy nitriles. The hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl group and nitrogen in the enzyme-substrate complex intermediates that disfavors the loss of ammonia and formation of acyl-enzyme intermediate, which was further hydrolyzed to acid, was proposed to be responsible for the unprecedented β-hydroxy functionality assisted high yield of amide formation.

- Regioselective biocatalytic hydrolysis of (E,Z)-2-methyl-2-butenenitrile for production of (E)-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid
-
Acidovorax facilis 72W nitrilase catalyzed the regioselective hydrolysis of (E,Z)-2-methyl-2-butenenitrile, producing only (E)-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid with no detectable conversion of (Z)-2-methyl-2-butenenitrile. (E)-2-Methyl-2-butenoic acid, produced in aqueous solution as the ammonium salt, was readily separated from (Z)-2-methyl-2-butenenitrile, and isolated in high yield and purity. The combination of nitrile hydratase and amidase activities of several Comamonas testosteroni strains were also highly regioselective for the production of (E)-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid from (E,Z)-2-methyl-2- butenenitrile.

- Novel palladium(II) complex containing a chelating anionic N-O ligand: Efficient carbonylation catalyst
-
(matrix presented) A novel palladium(II) complex containing chelating anionic pyridine-2-carboxylato and labile tosylato ligands is a highly efficient catalyst for the carbonylation of organic alcohols and olefins to carboxylic acids/esters. Carbonylation of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols as well as linear and functionalized terminal olefins was studied. In all cases remarkable activity and selectivity were observed. The catalyst is stable under reaction conditions even in the absence of excess phosphine ligands.

- Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of racemic allylic esters with formic acid: Effects of phosphine ligands on isomerization of π- allylpalladium intermediates and enantioselectivity
-
A new MOP ligand (lb), (R)-(+)-2-(bis(3- trifluoromethylphenyl)phosphino)-2'-methoxy-1,1'-binaphthyl, was found to be more enantioselective than other MOP ligands for the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of α,α-disubstituted allylic esters with formic acid. The reduction of DL-2-(1-naphthyl)-3-buten-2-yl benzoate gave 3-(1-naphthyl)- 1-butene of 90% ee. The higher enantioselectivity of lb is ascribed to fast syn-anti isomerization of π-allylpalladium intermediates formed by oxidative addition of allylic ester to a palladium(0) species. The rate of syn-anti isomerization was measured by the magnetization saturation transfer in 1H NMR. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

- Autocatalytic oxidation of ethers with sodium bromate
-
Sodium and potassium bromate are stable and easily stored oxidants. They can oxidize both open and cyclic ethers in aqueous solution at room temperature yielding esters and lactones. Kinetic studies of the oxidation of tetrahydrofuran to γ-butyrolactone indicate that the major active oxidation species is bromine and not bromate. The bromate is only a supporting agent, responsible for the initiation step and supplying bromine molecules by oxidizing bromide ions during the propagation step. In the oxidation of tetrahydrofuran, high yields of γ-butyrolactone were obtained. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

- Excited-State ? Succimidyl and Glutarimidyl Radicals: Reversible Ring Opening
-
The free-radical isomerization of N-bromosuccinimide to β-bromopropionyl isocyanate has been examined.Of the two varieties of succinimidyl radical (S? or S?), only the ? excited state undergoes the ring opening to the β propionyl isocyanatyl radical.The conversion optimally takes place in >95percent yield.The dependence of NBS concentration along with results obtained from deuterium labeling studies indicate that the ring opening of S? is a reversible process.This explains the failure of N-chlorosuccinimide to produce β-chloropropionyl isocyanate, as well as the increase in ring-opened product for N-bromosuccinimides upon methyl substitution at the 2- and/or 3-position of the succinimidyl ring, since the open-chain radical intermediates are more stable.In the N-bromoglutarimide system, methyl groups on the 2-position are required for the glutarimidyl radicals to undergo the isomerization, ultimately producing isocyanates.The radical-chain nature of these systems is confirmed.
