The combine use of ultrasound and lipase immobilized on co-polymer matrix for efficient biocatalytic application studies

In this work, we have investigated the combine use of ultrasound and lipase (Pseudomonas cepacia: PCL) immobilized on co-polymer of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CHI) for biocatalytic applications. Initially, we have screened different free and immobilized biocatalysts to find-out the robust biocatalyst. The immobilized biocatalyst PVA:CHI:PCL (5:5:2.5) worked as a robust biocatalyst to provide superior conversion (99%) for the synthesis of model ultrasound assisted reaction. Subsequently, various reaction parameters were optimized in details to obtain the higher yield. Besides this, developed biocatalytic protocol was used to synthesize various industrially important butyrate compounds which provided excellent conversion of 99% under ultrasonic conditions. The developed biocatalyst showed excellent recyclability upto studied five cycles under ultrasonic condition. The immobilized PVA:CHI:PCL biocatalyst displayed 2.4 folds higher activity as compared to free lipases in ultrasonic condition. Moreover, PVA:CHI:PCL biocatalyst in ultrasound media showed 4.5 folds higher activity as compared to free lipases in conventional media. The energy assessment was performed which demonstrated feasibility of combine use of immobilization and ultrasonication to carry out efficient biocatalytic process.

Conversion of biomass-derived butanal into gasoline-range branched hydrocarbon over Pd-supported catalysts

For production of gasoline-range branched hydrocarbon from butanal, Pd catalysts supported on different metal oxides were applied. Among the prepared catalysts, Pd/ZrO2 showed the complete butanal conversion with the formation of C7-to-C9 branched hydrocarbon (75% yield). Additionally, the ratios of O/C and straight-chain to branched hydrocarbon (n-C/br-C) were found to be 0.005 and 0.17, respectively. This indicates that an adequate combination of Pd dispersion and amphoteric ZrO2 character promoted hydrodeoxygenation, C-C coupling and isomerization reactions. Consequently, both Pd dispersion and acid-base properties of supports are suggested to play a pivotal role in producing gasoline-range hydrocarbon at a high yield.

Preparation of S-2-ethylhexyl-para-methoxycinnamate by lipase catalyzed sequential kinetic resolution

S-2-Ethylhexyl-para-methoxycinnamate S-6 is prepared by a sequential biocatalytic resolution. First, either enantioselective acetylation of rac 2-ethylhexanol (±)-1- by vinylacetate to R-(-)-2-ethylhexylacetate R-2, or alcoholysis of rac 2-ethylhexylbutyrate (±)-3 by n-butanol to S-(+)-2-ethylhexanol S-1 is completed, than, without isolation of the enantiomerically enreached S-alcohol, its enantioselective acylation with the activated para-methoxycinnamic acid derivatives 4,5 is performed, both steps being catalyzed by different microbial lipases. The highest amplification of enantioselectivity is obtained by combining acetylation of rac 2-ethylhexanol catalyzed by Penicillium camembertii lipase or alcoholysis of rac 2-ethylhexylbutyrate catalyzed by Pseudomonas species lipase in the first step, with acylation of enantiomerically enreached S-1 by vinyl-para-methoxycinnamate 4 catalyzed by Lipozyme IM lipase; 84.5% e.e. of S-6 is achieved in the first, and 88% e.e. in the second approach. Since the R-enantiomer of 2-ethylhexanol represents potential source of teratogenic R-2-ethylhexanoic acid, S-6 is regarded as biologically safer UV filter as compared to racemic 2-ethylhexyl-para-methoxycinnamate.
