The role of the reaction medium in lipase-catalyzed esterifications and transesterifications
Cernia,Palocci,Soro
, p. 157 - 168 (1998)
The nature of the reaction medium (different organic solvents and supercritical fluids) markedly influenced the microbial lipase activity in esterification and transesterification reactions employing as substrates natural and synthetic compounds in terms of reaction rates and lipase enantioselectivity. The experimental data obtained show that while there are no substantial correlations between enantioselectivity and some physicochemical characteristics of the solvent as hydrophobicity and dielectric constant, the solvent polarity and hydrophobicity is able to modulate greatly lipase activity. The possible effects of the solvent characteristics on the catalytic performance of the enzymes are discussed and a rationale is proposed to explain the results obtained.

Lytic activity of l-menthol (1) derivatives [(-)-(1S,3R,4S,6S)-6-hydroxymenthol (2), (-)-(1S,3R,4S)-1-hydroxymenthol (3), and (+)-(1S,3R,4R,6S)-6,8-dihydroxymenthol (4)] against the snow blight disease fungus, Micronectriella nivalis was investigated. Compounds 2, 3, and 4 had 85.0, 63.9, and 81.9% lytic activity, respectively, at a concentration of 0.2 mg/mL. The activity of each of the three compounds increased in a dose-response manner. To study the structure-activity relationship, acetyl esters of 1-4 [(-)-menthyl acetate (1Ac), (-)-6-hydroxymenthyl diacetate (2Ac), (-)-1-hydroxymenthyl 3-monoacetate (3Ac), and (-)-6,8-dihydroxymenthyl 3,6-diacetate (4Ac)] were synthesized with yields of 80.2-99.8% and were also assayed. The acetyl esters of 1Ac, 2Ac, 3Ac, and 4Ac had 51.2, 91.5, 66.0, and 95.2% lytic activity, respectively, at a concentration of 0.2 mg/mL, and these compounds showed further high lytic activity compared with the alcohols of 1-4. These acetyl esters also showed higher lytic activity as their concentration was increased. Of particular interest is the fact that 2Ac and 4Ac both had higher lytic activity at 0.05-0.2 mg/mL compared with copper 8-hydroxyquinolate, a standard chemical widely used to control snow blight. This is the first report on lytic activity of I-menthol derivatives.

, p. 407 - 413 (2013)
This paper reports on the preparation of SO4 2-/Fe2O3-TiO2-Nd2O 3 (SFTN) by combustion method. The effect of Nd content on catalytic activity was investigated. The prepared materials doped and undoped by Nd were compared by means of TG-DTG, XRD, FT-IR, NH3-TPD and TEM techniques. Results indicated that the introduction of Nd improved the catalytic activities of the catalysts. Catalytic activity of SFTN was the highest with 98.3 % menthol conversion when Nd content was at 2 wt%. The introduction of Nd stabilized the coordination bond between the sulfate irons and the metallic oxides, helping in the formation of solid acid sites, enhancing the dispersion of catalyst particles, and inhibiting the growth of catalyst particles under heating.

We obtained novel hybrid materials on the basis of covalently bounded to amino-grafted tin dioxide lipase from Rhizopus delemar (NH2-nano- SnO2-RhD). Under the optimal condition, the protein loading yielded of 14.7 mg/g NH2-nano-SnO2, while the adsorption capacity of the unmodified nano-SnO2 for the same enzyme was 38.5 mg/g. At the same time, NH2-nano-SnO2-RhD exhibited specific hydrolytic activity of 77.6 U/mg prot. which is 2.5-fold higher in comparison to that of the physically adsorbed on nano-SnO2 lipase (nano-SnO 2-RhD). In ten reaction cycles of tributyrin hydrolysis, up to 70% of the activity of NH2-nano-SnO2-RhD was preserved. Upon immobilization the enantioselectivity of the lipase for the reaction of acylation of (±)-menthol was improved. For the two biocatalysts, the highest yield of (-)-menthyl acetate (more than 35%) was obtained when glyceryl triacetate was used as acylating reagent, however, the enantiomeric excess was only 89.5% for the covalently bonded lipase and 85.0% for the physically adsorbed one. Higher enantiomeric excess was obtained when vinyl acetate was used as an acylating reagent; however, the conversion in that case did not exceed 20%. The addition of small amounts of pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquids, 1-methyl-1-octyl-pyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl imide [MOPyrro][NTf2], 1-methyl-1-octyl-pyrrolidinium hexafluorophosphate [MOPyrro][PF6], and 1-methyl-1-octyl-pyrrolidinium tetrafluoroborate [MOPyrro][BF4], to the reaction mixture resulted in decrease of (±) menthol conversion rate. All tested ionic liquids enhanced the enantioselectivity of nano-SnO2-RhD, and the best result was obtained in presence of [MOPyrro][PF6] (enantiomeric ratio >140).

Insight into the mechanism of a safe, simple, and inexpensive phosphoric acid (H3PO4)-catalyzed acylation of alcohols with acid anhydrides is described. The corresponding in situ-generated diacylated mixed anhydrides, unlike traditionally proposed monoacylated mixed anhydrides, are proposed as the active species. In particular, the diacylated mixed anhydrides act as efficient catalytic acyl transfer reagents rather than as Br?nsted acid catalysts simply activating acid anhydrides. Remarkably, highly efficient phosphoric acid (1-3 mol %)-catalyzed acylation of alcohols with acid anhydrides was achieved and a 23 g scale synthesis of an ester was demonstrated. Also, phosphoric acid catalyst was effective for synthetically useful esterification from carboxylic acids, alcohols, and acid anhydride. Moreover, with regard to recent developments in chiral 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL)-derived phosphoric acid diester catalysts toward asymmetric kinetic resolution of alcohols by acylation, some phosphate diesters were examined. As a result, a 31P NMR study and a kinetics study strongly supported not only the acid-base cooperative mechanism as previously proposed by other researchers but also the mixed anhydride mechanism as presently proposed by us.

Functionalized biochars, renewable carbon materials prepared from waste biomass, can catalyze transformations of a range of oxygen-containing substrates via hydrogen-bonding interactions. Good conversions (up to 75.2 %) to different O-heterocycles are obtained from ring-closing C?O/C?O metathesis reactions of different aliphatic ethers under optimized conditions using this heterogeneous, metal-free, and easy separable catalyst. The diversity in the sorts of O-containing feedstocks is further demonstrated by the utilization of functionalized biochar to promote the esterification of terpene alcohols, an important reaction in food and flavor industries. Under the optimized conditions, full conversions to various terpene esters are obtained. Moreover, both of the reactions studied herein are performed under neat conditions, thus increasing the overall sustainability of the process described.
Method for producing ester based on eco-friendly and high efficiency esterification by using base exchange of salt and the compound thereof
-
Paragraph 0087-0095; 0097, (2021/07/07)
The present invention relates to an esterification reaction-based eco-friendly and high efficiency ester compound using ion exchange and an ester compound thereof. The esterification generally proceeds by reverse reaction with water, resulting in poor yield of the ester. In order to avoid hydrolysis, the esterification reaction was environmentally or non-limited due to the continuous supply of hydrochloric acid gas or the use of chlorinated thionyl chloride as a noxious substance. To the present invention, a continuous hydrochloric acid gas is provided by ion exchange of a salt, and magnesium sulfate acts as a dehydrating agent to remove water generated in esterification. In addition, the reactants are cheap and the product is also low in harmfulness and easier to handle and thus more efficient reaction is possible.

A new acid molten salt was prepared and its structure elucidation was conducted by FTIR, 1D NMR, 2D NMR, and mass spectrometry. Further support to elucidate the chemical structure of the 1H,4H-piperazine-N,N′-diium ring of the new acid molten salt was achieved by1H and13C NMR, and COSY analyses of 1H,4H-piperazine-N,N′-diium dibromide, which is synthesized and characterized for the first time in the current work. The analysis of FTIR and NMR spectra as well as pH and titrimetric analysis excluded the formation of [SO4]2?and the presence of an excess of H2SO4. Moreover, no distinguishing peak was detected for the acid proton of [HSO4]?in DMSO-d6. The thermal phase transition and thermal stability of the acid molten salt were also recorded, which approved the strong interaction between a dication and hydrogen sulfate anions. According to the acidity of the new molten salt, we encourage the study of its catalytic activity for the acetylation ofn-pentanol using glacial acetic acid. Pentyl acetate was obtained in 89.0% conversion and 78.0% isolated yield. The1H NMR spectrum of the residue showed an excess of HOAc together with molten salt, whereas the1H NMR spectrum of the upper phase exhibited pure pentyl acetate. After separation of the upper phase, the residue was concentrated and used in the next run without further purification. No significant changes in the chemical structure and catalytic activity of the new molten salt were observed even after the 5th run. Two chiral alcohols, including (?)-menthol and (+)-borneol, as well as α-tocopherol (α-TCP) were also acetylated with acetic acid in the presence of the new acid molten salt under optimized reaction conditions, which afforded the desired acetates in high yields.

The Vilsmeier reagent (VR), first reported a century ago, is a versatile reagent in a variety of organic reactions. It is used extensively in formylation reactions. However, the synthesis of VR generally requires highly toxic and corrosive reagents such as POCl3, SOCl2, or COCl2. In this study, we found that VR is readily obtained from a CHCl3 solution containing N,N-dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethylacetamide upon photo-irradiation under O2 bubbling. The corresponding Vilsmeier reagents were obtained in high yields with the generation of gaseous HCl and CO2 as byproducts to allow their isolations as crystalline solid products amenable to analysis by X-ray crystallography. With the advantage of using CHCl3, which bifunctionally serves as a reactant and a solvent, this photo-on-demand VR synthesis is available for one-pot syntheses of aldehydes, acid chlorides, formates, ketones, esters, and amides.
