Synthesis and application of glycolic esters in methanol-gasoline as bifunctional additives

Summary : To explore new and multifunctional additives for methanol-gasoline, glycolic esters were synthesized and screened as phase stabilizer and saturation vapor pressure depressor. The effect of the esters' structure on the efficiency was discussed. It was found that the stability of the blends depend on the length of the glycolic esters' alkoxy group, and hexyl glycolic and octyl glycolic were found to be the most effective in various gasoline-methanol blends. Additionally, the glycolic esters can depress the saturation vapor pressure of methanol-gasoline effectively as well, and decyl glycolic is the most effective one. With these data, it can be concluded that the glycolic esters have the great potential to be used as bifunctional gasoline-methanol additives.

Bridging racemic lactate esters with stereoselective polylactic acid using commercial lipase catalysis

A productive and enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic mixtures of lactate esters with commercial Candida rugosa lipase was performed. This step contributes to a novel envisioned route for stereoselective PLA production by combining recent chemocatalytic developments with this biocatalytic contribution, foreseeing two separate l- and d-lactate enantiomer streams. A study of the hydrolysis kinetics identified an unexpected rate determining step at the origin of an unprecedented ester reactivity order.
