Chemical syntheses in contemporary process industries today are predominantly conducted using organic solvents, which are potentially hazardous to humans and the environment alike. Green chemistry was developed as a means to overcome this hazard and it also holds enormous potential for designing clean, safe and sustainable processes. The present work incorporates the concepts of green chemistry in its design of a lipase-mediated epoxidation process for monoterpenes; the process uses alternative reaction media, namely deep eutectic solvents (DESs), which have not been reported for such an application before. Choline chloride (ChCl), in combination with a variety of hydrogen bond donors (HBD) at certain molar ratios, was screened and tested for this purpose. The process was optimized through the design of experiments (DoE) using the Taguchi method for four controllable parameters (temperature, enzyme amount, peroxide amount and type of substrate) and one uncontrollable parameter (DES reaction media) in a crossed-array design. Two distinct DESs, namely glycerol:choline chloride (GlCh) and sorbitol:choline chloride (SoCh), were found to be the best systems and they resulted in a complete conversion of the substrates within 8 h. Impurities (esters) were found to form in both the DESs, which was a concern; as such, we developed a novel minimal DES system that incorporated a co-substrate into the DES so that this issue could be overcome. The minimal DES consisted of urea·H2O2 (U·H2O2) and ChCl and exhibited better results than both the GlCh and SoCh systems; complete conversions were achieved within 2 h for 3-carene and within 3 h for both limonene and α-pinene. Product isolation with a simple water/ethyl acetate based procedure gave isolated yields of 87.2 ± 2.4%, 77.0 ± 5.0% and 84.6 ± 3.7% for 3-carene, limonene and α-pinene respectively.

Biobased catalyst in biorefinery processes: Sulphonated hydrothermal carbon for glycerol esterification
De La Calle, Carlos,Fraile, José M.,García-Bordejé, Enrique,Pires, Elísabet,Roldán, Laura
, p. 2897 - 2903 (2015/05/13)
Sulphonated hydrothermal carbon (SHTC), obtained from d-glucose by mild hydrothermal carbonisation and subsequent sulphonation with sulphuric acid, is able to catalyse the esterification of glycerol with different carboxylic acids, namely, acetic, butyric and caprylic acids. Product selectivity can be tuned by simply controlling the reaction conditions. On the one hand, SHTC provides one of the best selectivity towards monoacetins described up to now without the need for an excess of glycerol. On the other hand, excellent selectivity towards triacylglycerides (TAG) can be obtained, beyond those described with other solid catalysts, including well-known sulphonic resins. Recovery of the catalyst showed partial deactivation of the solid. The formation of sulphonate esters on the surface, confirmed by solid state NMR, was the cause of this behaviour. Acid treatment of the used catalyst, with subsequent hydrolysis of the surface sulphonate esters, allows SHTC to recover its activity. The higher selectivity towards mono- and triesters and its renewable origin makes SHTC an attractive catalyst in biorefinery processes.
Unveiling the dual role of the cholinium hexanoate ionic liquid as solvent and catalyst in suberin depolymerisation
Ferreira, Rui,Garcia, Helga,Sousa, Andreia F.,Guerreiro, Marina,Duarte, Filipe J. S.,Freire, Carmen S. R.,Calhorda, Maria Jose,Silvestre, Armando J. D.,Kunz, Werner,Rebelo, Luis Paulo N.,Silva Pereira, Cristina

Disruption of the three-dimensional network of suberin in cork by cholinium hexanoate leads to its efficient and selective isolation. The reaction mechanism, which likely involves selective cleavage of some inter-monomeric bonds in suberin, was still unanswered. To address this question, the role of the ionic liquid during suberin depolymerisation and during cleavage of standard compounds carrying key chemical functionalities was herein investigated. A clear demonstration that the ionic liquid catalyses the hydrolysis of acylglycerol ester bonds was attained herein, both experimentally and computationally (DFT calculations). This behaviour is related to cholinium hexanoate capacity to activate the nucleophilic attack of water. The data showed also that the most favourable reaction is the hydrolysis of acylglycerol ester bonds, with the C2 position reporting the faster kinetics, whilst most of the linear aliphatic esters remained intact. The study emphasises that the ionic liquid plays the dual role of solvent and catalyst and leads to suberin efficient extraction through a mild depolymerisation. It is also one of the few reports of ionic liquids as efficient catalysts in the hydrolysis of esters.
METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF TRIGLYCERIDES OF MEDIUM-CHAIN LENGTH FATTY ACIDS
-
Paragraph 0040; 0042, (2013/09/12)
A method is disclosed for the preparation of glycerol esters (triglycerides) of medium-chain length monocarboxylic fatty acids which consists of the reaction of the precursor free fatty acid and glycerol in the presence of a catalyst under partial vacuum. The process preferably uses a metal catalyst such as an oxide or a chloride of tungsten, molybdenum, calcium, zinc, chromium or magnesium. The method of the invention allows the preparation in high yield and high purity (>99.5%) of the final triglyceride. The present method allows the formation of triglycerides without solvent. Are also contemplated, the triglyceride obtained by the method, and the pharmaceutical composition containing the triglyceride as an excipient or as an active ingredient.

, p. 839 - 843 (2007/10/03)
1,3-Diacylglycerols were synthesized by direct esterification of glycerol with free fatty acids in a solvent-free system. Free fatty acids with relatively low melting points (45°C) such as unsaturated and medium-chain saturated fatty acids were used. With stoichiometric ratios of the reactants and water removal by evaporation at 3 mm Hg vacuum applied at 1 h and thereafter, the maximal 1,3-diacylglycerol content in the reaction mixture was: 84.6% for 1,3-dicaprylin, 84.4% for 1,3-dicaprin, 74.3% for 1,3-dilinolein, 71.7% for 1,3-dieicosapentaenoin, 67.4% for 1,3-dilaurin, and 61.1% for 1,3-diolein. Some of the system's parameters (temperature, water removal, and molar ratio of the reactants) were optimized for the production of 1,3-dicaprylin, and the maximal yield reached 98%. The product was used for the chemical synthesis of 1,3-dicapryloyl-2-eicosapentaenoylglycerol. The yield after purification was 42%, and the purity of the triacylglycerol was 98% (both 1,3-dicapryloyl-2-eicosapentaenoylglycerol and 1,2-dicapryloyl-3-eicosapentaenoylglycerol included) by gas chromatographic analysis, of which 90% was the desired structured triacylglycerol (1,3-dicapryloyl-2-eicosapentaenoylglycerol) as determined by silver ion high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis.
1H-Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies of saturated, acetylenic and ethylenic triacylglycerols
Lie Ken Jie, Marcel S.F.,Lam
, p. 155 - 171 (2007/10/03)
The 1H-NMR spectroscopic properties of 15 synthetic homologous saturated triacylglycerols of type AAA and 16 mixed saturated triacylglycerols of type ABA and AAB have been studied. Triacylglycerols containing short-chain fatty acids (2:0-6:0) are readily identified. Triacylglycerols containing medium- and long-chain fatty acid components are not differentiated. From the analysis of 19 acetylenic triacylglycerols of type AAA, ABA and AAB (containing positional isomers of acetylenic fatty acids), it is only possible to characterize triacylglycerols with acyl groups containing the acetylenic bond at the Δ2-Δ5 position. 1H-NMR analysis could not confirm the positions (α- or β-acyl) of the acetylenic acids in mixed triacylglycerols. In the study of 22 ethylenic triacylglycerols of type AAA containing positional isomers of (Z)- or (E)-ethylenic acids, molecules containing an ethylenic bond in the Δ2 position of the acyl chains were readily characterized, as the ethylenic protons in the α- and β-acyl chains were fully resolved. Triacylglycerols containing an unsaturated center at the position were characterized by the shifts of the 2-H protons. The spectra of the remaining triacylglycerol molecules were very similar and the position of the ethylenic system could not be determined by this technique.
