The application of a new class of alkylammonium salts as phase-transfer catalysts was investigated. These salts are tetra(4-thiaalkyl) ammonium bromides, and the key questions of the study focus on how the incorporation of a sulfur atom in the alkyl chains affects the efficacy of the salts as phase-transfer catalysts. Employing the nucleophilic substitution of cyanide for bromide on 1-bromopentane as a model reaction, reaction rate constants and activation energies are evaluated. The kinetic parameters obtained using the tetrathiaalkylammonium salts are compared to those obtained using their tetraalkylammonium analogs. The general trend is that the presence of sulfur in the alkyl chains reduces the reaction rates and increases activation energies. This trend is analyzed both in terms of computational modeling and experimental distribution coefficients to determine the cause of the slower reaction rates. Thiaquats are shown to distribute more into the aqueous phase than traditional quat salts of similar chain length, resulting in lower organic phase concentrations. Quantum calculations indicate stronger ion pairing for the thiaquats, increasing activation energies and slowing reaction rates. Thus, differences in rate enhancements are attributable both to phase distribution and ion pairing effects.

We report a new chemoenzymatic cascade starting with aldehyde synthesis by carboxylic acid reductase (CAR) followed by chemical in situ oxime formation. The final step to the nitrile is catalyzed by aldoxime dehydratase (Oxd). Full conversions of phenylacetic acid and hexanoic acid were achieved in a two-phase mode.

Paragraph 0080; 0084; 0095-0099, (2021/02/05)
The present invention provides a method of producing a nitrile from a primary amide, characterized in that the primary amide is subjected to a dehydration reaction in a supercritical fluid in the presence of an acid catalyst. The present invention achieves the object of reducing the corrosion of a reactor and the thermal decomposition of raw materials, as well as provides the effect of improving the reaction rate and nitrile selectivity.

The selective hydrogenation of functionalized olefins is of great importance in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Here, we report on a nanostructured nickel catalyst that enables the selective hydrogenation of purely aliphatic and functionalized olefins under mild conditions. The earth-abundant metal catalyst allows the selective hydrogenation of sterically protected olefins and further tolerates functional groups such as carbonyls, esters, ethers and nitriles. The characterization of our catalyst revealed the formation of surface oxidized metallic nickel nanoparticles stabilized by a N-doped carbon layer on the active carbon support.
