Facile hydrogenation of carbon-carbon double bonds was achieved in a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic reactor with immobilized noble nanoparticles, using the conversion of 6-bromo-1-hexene to 1-bromo-hexane as a model reaction. The microreactor was used to measure the intrinsic catalytic activity and turnover frequencies (TOF) of palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt) and ruthenium (Ru) nanocatalysts. The TOF of reactions run with immobilized nanocatalysts in the microfluidic reactor were hundreds of times larger than those measured in identical reactions in batch reactors. The combination of well-defined nanocatalysts and microfluidics significantly enhances hydrogen diffusion to catalytic sites, thus eliminating mass transfer limitations and enabling evaluation of the intrinsic catalytic activity. The system provides an excellent platform for high throughput screening of catalysts, and for conducting mechanistic studies of reaction kinetics.

We propose a new synthesis of the sex pheromone of Lygus lineolaris (Heteroptera miridae) that uses a phase-transfer version of the Wittig - Horner reaction to produce a monoene synthon of the principal component of the pheromone, E-2-hexenylbutyrate.

The nucleophilic reactivity of a homogeneous series of anions (halides, pseudohalides and organic anions) in the ionic liquids [hexmim] [ClO 4] and [hexmim] [PF6] has been measured in their reaction with n-alkyl methanesulfonates, and compared with that found in traditional molecular solvents of different polarity, that is, chlorobenzene, DMSO, and MeOH.

Metabolite profiling in anaerobic alkane biodegradation plays an important role in revealing activation mechanisms. Apart from alkylsuccinates, which are considered to be the usual biomarkers via fumarate addition, the downstream metabolites of C-skeleton rearrangement can also be regarded as biomarkers. However, it is difficult to detect intermediate metabolites in both environmental samples and enrichment cultures, resulting in lacking direct evidence to prove the occurrence of fumarate addition pathway. In this work, a synthetic method of rearrangement metabolites was established. Four compounds, namely, propylmalonic acid, 2-(2-methylbutyl)malonic acid, 2-(2-methylpentyl)malonic acid and 2-(2-methyloctyl)malonic acid, were synthesized and determined by four derivatization approaches. Besides, their mass spectra were obtained. Four characteristic ions were observed at m/z 133 + 14n, 160 + 28n, 173 + 28n and [M - (45 + 14n)]+ (n = 0 and 2 for ethyl and n-butyl esters, respectively). For methyl esterification, mass spectral features were m/z 132, 145 and [M - 31]+, while for silylation, fragments were m/z 73, 147, 217, 248, 261 and [M - 15]+. These data provide basis on identification of potential rearrangement metabolites in anaerobic alkane biodegradation via fumarate addition.
An efficient conversion of alcohols to alkyl bromides using pyridinium based ionic liquids: A green alternative to appel reaction

, p. 651 - 654 (2018/02/09)
Pyridinium based ionic liquids namely 4-alkylpyridinium bromides were prepared and used for the conversion of alcohols to alkyl bromides in the presence of p-toluenesulphonic acid in the absence of volatile organic compounds. This solvent free procedure promises to be a much improved and environmentally benign alternative to the Appel reaction.
