Effect of boron content on 1,4-butanediol production by hydrogenation of succinic acid over Re-Ru/BMC (boron-modified mesoporous carbon) catalysts
Kang, Ki Hyuk,Han, Seung Ju,Lee, Jong Won,Kim, Tae Hyeop,Song, In Kyu
, p. 206 - 213 (2016)
A series of Re-Ru bimetallic catalysts supported on mesoporous boron-modified carbon (denoted as Re-Ru/xBMC, x?=?B/C molar ratio) were prepared by a single-step surfactant-templating method and a subsequent incipient wetness impregnation method, and they were used for liquid-phase hydrogenation of succinic acid to 1,4-butandiol (BDO). The effect of boron addition on the catalytic activities and physicochemical properties of Re-Ru/xBMC catalysts was investigated. It was found that the addition of boron into carbon support affected surface area, metal dispersion, and reducibility of rhenium and ruthenium species in the Re-Ru/xBMC catalysts. It was also observed that boron species in carbon framework existed in several different phases such as substituted boron, partial oxidized boron, and boron oxide. In particular, the amount of substituted boron species was closely related to the hydrogen adsorption behavior of Re-Ru/xBMC catalysts. The amount of weak hydrogen-binding sites increased with increasing the amount of substituted boron species of the catalysts. Yield for BDO in the hydrogenation of succinic acid showed a volcano-shaped trend with respect to B/C molar ratio. This result was in good agreement with the amount of weak hydrogen-binding sites of the catalysts. It was revealed that TOFBDO increased with increasing the amount of weak hydrogen-binding sites of Re-Ru/xBMC catalysts. Among the catalysts, Re-Ru/0.04BMC with the largest amount of weak hydrogen-binding sites served as an efficient catalyst in the selective formation of BDO by hydrogenation of succinic acid.

Taniguchi, Takahiko,Ogasawara, Kunio
, p. 1136 - 1137 (1998)
Child's play! Allyl ethers as protecting groups for hydroxyl functions can be removed readily with a combination of DIBAL and catalytic amounts of [NiCl2(dppp)]. Propene is expelled in this remarkably selective reaction, and a nickel-catalyzed hydroalumination-elimination pathway is proposed. dppp = propane-1,3-diylbis(diphenylphosphane).

Comparison of Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Methods for the Analysis of Multiple Partially Deuteriated Products from Catalytic Reactions: Heptan-1-ol and 2-Methylpropanol
MacDougall, Joanna K.,Simpson, Michael C.,Cole-Hamilton, David J.
, p. 3061 - 3066 (1994)
Products from the hydrocarbonylation of hex-1-ene or prop-2-en-1-ol using H2-CO or D2-CO in EtOH or EtOD have been analysed using 13C NMR techniques.Where there are up to four isotopomers in the products, analysis of β-shifted resonances in the 13C- NMR spectrum can give enough information for quantification of all isotopomers.Using prop-2-en-1-ol, D2-CO and EtOH, the 2-methylpropanol produced is a mixture of 16 different isotopomers.These can be individually quantified by analysis of the 13C- NMR spectrum.In particular, the resonance from the methyl C atom shows β and γ shifts, the latter being different for different types of γ-D atom.These analytical methods are shown to be superior to other possibilities including 1H NMR and mass spectrometry.

, p. 688 - 697 (1999)
A carboxylesterase that is responsible for conversion of 1,4-butanediol diacrylate (BDA) to 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate (4HBA) was found in Brevibacterium lines IFO 12171, and purified to homogeneity. The purified enzyme was active toward a variety of diesters of ethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, and 1,6-hexanediol. The Km and kcat of the enzyme for BDA were 3.04 mM and 203,000 s-1, respectively. The reaction with the purified enzyme gave 98 mM 4HBA from 100 mM BDA for 60 min. The enzyme gene was cloned from the chromosomal DNA of the bacterium. The open reading frame encoding the enzyme was 1176 bp long, corresponding to a protein of 393 amino acid residues (molecular mass=42,569Da). The deduced amino acid sequence contained the tetra peptide motif sequence, STTK, and the serine residue was confirmed to be the catalytic center of BDA esterase by site-directed mutagenesis for several amino acid residues. The gene was expressed in Escherichia coli under the control of the lac promoter, and the gene product (a fusion protein with 6 amino acid residues from β-galactosidase) showed the same catalytic properties as the enzyme from the parent strain.

Bimetallic Synergy Effects of Phyllosilicate-Derived NiCu@SiO2 Catalysts for 1,4-Butynediol Direct Hydrogenation to 1,4-Butanediol

, p. 4777 - 4787 (2019)
Hydrogenation of 1,4-butynediol (BYD) to 1,4-butanediol (BDO) is a two-step process, with an initial hydrogenation of BYD to 1,4-butenediol (BED) and the subsequent hydrogenation of BED to BDO. However, the BYD hydrogenation also involves many side reactions originated from the isomerization of BED. In order to inhibit the isomerization pathways, phyllosilicate-derived bimetallic NiCu@SiO2 catalysts have been developed for efficient C≡C/C=C hydrogenation in this work. Due to the formation of phyllosilicate matrix and highly dispersed metal nanoparticles, NiCu@SiO2 showed total BYD conversion with extremely high BDO selectivity compared to a conventional impregnated Ni/SiO2 catalyst. A remarkable result of NiCu@SiO2 catalysts is that a new type of bimetallic catalytic sites responsible for the high hydrogenation activity can be differentiated from the Ni phyllosilicate matrix by the induction of Cu species, and these neighboring bimetallic sites with the help of weak acid phyllosilicate interface, can realize to stabilize the activated BED species (allyl alcohol form) adsorbed on the cooperative active sites, thus to avoid its isomerization to aldehyde form and unexpected C=O hydrogenolysis. Consequently, it enhanced the selectivity to the diol products BDO significantly. Owing to the benign improvement of three center synergy effect, 9Ni1Cu@SiO2 possesses the optimum BYD direct hydrogenation ability with a rarely reported high selectivity of 90.5–94.5 % at 50 °C and 1 MPa.

In ethanol, hydrocarbonylation reactions of alkenes catalysed by triethylphosphine complexes of rhodium give alcohols as the products with low linear selectivity, whilst rhodium complexes of PPri3 or PBui3 give mainly aldehydes, again with low linear selectivity. Modelling the proposed acyl intermediates by studying [Rh(C(O)Me)(CO)m(L)4-m] (L = PPri3 or PBui3) shows that they exist as monophosphine species under the normal reaction conditions. In the absence of CO, [Rh(=C(OH)Me)(CO) L2]+ can also be formed. The implications of these NMR studies for the chemo- and regio-selectivity of the hydrocarbonylation reactions are discussed.

, p. 1626 - 1633 (2017)
Pd@MIL-101(Cr) hetero-catalysts have been successfully prepared using the metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) approach, by choosing [Pd(η3-C3H5)(η5-C5H5)] as a volatile precursor, and the hydrothermally stable metal-organic framework, MIL-101(Cr) as a support. The prepared Pd@MIL-101(Cr) hetero-catalysts characterized with various analytical techniques, exhibited highly monodispersed immobilized Pd nanoparticles in the MIL-101(Cr) cavities, while retaining the pristine crystallinity and porosity. The intact hybrid Pd@MIL-101(Cr) has been demonstrated to be an efficient catalyst for 2-butyne-1,4-diol hydrogenation with excellent activity, stability and selectivity (2-butene-1,4-diol (>94%)).
Biosynthesis of 1,4-butanediol from erythritol using whole-cell catalysis
Dai, Lu,Tai, Cui,Shen, Yaling,Guo, Yali,Tao, Fei
, p. 1 - 5 (2018)
1,4-Butanediol (BDO) biosynthesis from renewable resources is of increasing interest because of global energy and environmental problems. We have previously demonstrated the production of BDO from erythritol by whole-cell catalysis. Here, the effects of several variables on BDO production were investigated, including cell density, temperature, substrate concentration and pH. It was found that the maximum BDO production was obtained at cell density (OD600) of 30. Low temperature and weak alkaline environment were beneficial for the biotransformation. Regarding substrate concentration, 80?g/L of erythritol was found to be optimum for the bioconversion. Under the optimal conditions, the highest concentration of BDO reached 34.5?mg/L, resulting in 5.8-fold increment after optimization. These results will provide useful guidance for enhancing the bioconversion of erythritol to BDO.
Kinetics and mechanism of tetrahydrofuran synthesis via 1,4-butanediol dehydration in high-temperature water

, p. 6229 - 6239 (2006)
We conducted an experimental investigation into the kinetics and mechanism of tetrahydrofuran synthesis from 1,4-butanediol via dehydration in high-temperature liquid water (HTW) without added catalyst at 200-350 °C. The reaction was reversible, with tetrahydrofuran being produced at an equilibrium yield of 84% (at 200 °C) to 94% (at 350 °C). The addition of CO2 to the reaction mixture increased the reaction rate by a factor of 1.9-2.9, because of the increase in acidity resulting from the formation and dissociation of carbonic acid. This increase was much less than that expected (factor of 37-60) from a previously suggested acid-catalyzed mechanism. This disagreement prompted experiments with added acid (HCl) and base (NaOH) to investigate the influence of pH on the reaction rate. These experiments revealed three distinct regions of pH dependence. At high and low pH, the dehydration rate increased with increasing acidity. At near-neutral pH, however, the rate was essentially insensitive to changes in pH. This behavior is consistent with a mechanism where H2O, in addition to H+, serves as a proton donor. This work indicates that the relatively high native concentration of H+ (large Kw), which has commonly been thought to lead to the occurrence of acid-catalyzed reactions in HTW without added catalyst, does not explain the dehydration of 1,4-butanediol in HTW without catalyst. Rather, H2O serves directly as the proton donor for the reaction.

Tracking Electrical Fields at the Pt/H2O Interface during Hydrogen Catalysis
Ryu, Jaeyune,Surendranath, Yogesh
, p. AR (2019)
We quantify changes in the magnitude of the interfacial electric field under the conditions of H2/H+ catalysis at a Pt surface. We track the product distribution of a local pH-sensitive, surface-catalyzed nonfaradaic reaction, H2 addition to cis-2-butene-1,4-diol to form n-butanol and 1,4-butanediol, to quantify the concentration of solvated H+ at a Pt surface that is constantly held at the reversible hydrogen electrode potential. By tracking the surface H+ concentration across a wide range of pH and ionic strengths, we directly quantify the magnitude of the electrostatic potential drop at the Pt/solution interface and establish that it increases by 60 mV per unit increase in pH. These results provide direct insight into the electric field environment at the Pt surface and highlight the dramatically amplified field existent under alkaline vs acidic conditions.

Converging conversion - using promiscuous biocatalysts for the cell-free synthesis of chemicals from heterogeneous biomass
Pick, André,Sieber, Volker,Sutiono, Samuel
, p. 3656 - 3663 (2021)
Production of chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass has been proposed as a suitable replacement to petrochemicals. However, one inherent challenge of biomass utilization is the heterogeneity of the substrate resulting in the presence of mixed sugars after hydrolysis. Fermentation of mixed sugars often leads to poor yield and generation of multiple by-products, thus complicating the subsequent downstream processing. System biocatalysis has thus been developed in recent years to address this challenge. In this work, several novel enzymes with broad substrate promiscuity were identified using a sequence-based discovery approach as suitable biocatalysts in a conversion ofd-xylose andl-arabinose, two major constituents of hemicellulose found in plant biomass. These promiscuous enzymes enabled simultaneous biotransformation ofd-xylose andl-arabinose to yield 1,4-butanediol (BDO) with a maximum production rate of 3 g L?1h?1and a yield of >95%. This model system was further adapted toward the production of α-ketoglutarate (2-KG) from the pentoses using O2as a cosubstrate for cofactor recycling reaching a maximum production rate of 4.2 g L?1h?1and a yield of 99%. To verify the potential applicability of our system, we attempted to scale up the BDO and 2-KG production fromd-xylose andl-arabinose. Simple optimization and reaction engineering allowed us to obtain BDO and 2-KG titers of 18 g L?1and 42 g L?1, with theoretical yields of >75% and >99%, respectively. One of the promiscuous enzymes identified together with auxiliary promiscuous enzymes was also suitable for stereoconvergent synthesis from a mixture ofd-glucose andd-galactose, predominant sugars found in food waste streams and microalgae biomass.

Hydroboration reactions of carboxylic acids using sodium aminodiboranate (NaNH2[BH3]2, NaADBH) to form primary alcohols were systematically investigated, and the reduction mechanism was elucidated experimentally and computationally. The transfer of hydride ions from B atoms to C atoms, the key step in the mechanism, was theoretically illustrated and supported by experimental results. The intermediates of NH2B2H5, PhCH= CHCOOBH2NH2BH3-, PhCH= CHCH2OBO, and the byproducts of BH4-, NH2BH2, and NH2BH3- were identified and characterized by 11B and 1H NMR. The reducing capacity of NaADBH was found between that of NaBH4 and LiAlH4. We have thus found that NaADBH is a promising reducing agent for hydroboration because of its stability and easy handling. These reactions exhibit excellent yields and good selectivity, therefore providing alternative synthetic approaches for the conversion of carboxylic acids to primary alcohols with a wide range of functional group tolerance.
