The use of biomass-sourced chemical feedstocks creates a conflict over land use between food and fuel/chemical production. Such conflict could be reduced by making use of the annual 1.3 Pg food waste resource. Oleic acid is available from seed oils such as pumpkin, grape, avocado and mango. Its esterification with diols 1,3-propanediol, resorcinol and orcinol was used to form diesters and the naturally occurring norspermidine was used to prepare a diamide, all under ambient conditions. These compounds were then epoxidized and polymerized. When esterification was followed by epoxidation and subsequent curing at elevated temperature with p-phenylenediamine or diethylenetriamine, hard insoluble resins were formed. When the sequence was changed such that the epoxidized oleic acid was first reacted with cis-1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic anhydride and then esterified with orcinol and resorcinol, insoluble crosslinked polymers were also obtained.

The reaction of HOF·CH3CN complex, made directly by passing fluorine through aqueous acetonitrile, with double bond containing unprotected carboxylic acids and alcohols results in fast and almost quantitative epoxidation.

Oxo-vanadium Schiff base was covalently immobilized onto chemically functionalized graphene oxide (GO) using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as a coupler. The loading of vanadyl Schiff base onto GO nanosheets was confirmed by FTIR, XRD, TGA, and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The synthesized heterogeneous catalyst was found to be efficient and selective for the epoxidation of fatty acids and esters using t-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant. Interestingly, the immobilized catalyst showed a higher catalytic efficiency than the homogeneous vanadyl acetylacetonate. The recycling experiment results indicated that the catalyst was highly stable and maintained very high activity, and selectivity even after being used for six cycles.

Selective Epoxidation of Fatty Acids and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters by Fungal Peroxygenases

Recently discovered fungal unspecific peroxygenases from Marasmius rotula and Chaetomium globosum catalyze the epoxidation of unsaturated fatty acids (FA) and FA methyl esters (FAME), unlike the well-known peroxygenases from Agrocybe aegerita and Coprinopsis cinerea. Reactions of a series of unsaturated FA and FAME with cis-configuration revealed high (up to 100 %) substrate conversion and selectivity towards epoxidation, although some significant differences were observed between enzymes and substrates with the best results being obtained with the C. globosum enzyme. This and the M. rotula peroxygenase appear as promising biocatalysts for the environmentally-friendly production of reactive FA epoxides given their self-sufficient monooxygenase activity and the high conversion rate and epoxidation selectivity.
A novel vegetable oil-lactate hybrid monomer for synthesis of high-T g polyurethanes

, p. 243 - 250 (2010)
A study was conducted to introduce a vegetable oil-lactate hybrid monomer for synthesis of high Tg polyurethanes (PU). The conjugation of epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) was investigated, which was prepared by epoxidation of soybean oil using lipase as catalyst, with lactic acid (LA) through ring-opening reaction. It was demonstrated that 1000 mg of ESO and 600 mg of LA were charged in a reactor that contained a stirrer bar. The reactor was purged with nitrogen for around 15 minutes to remove the air and it was sealed. The reaction was allowed to continue for 6 hours and the final reaction mixture was washed with water to remove unreacted chemicals till the pH value of the washing solution turned to 7.0 and the desired product, lactic acid-epoxidized soybean oil (LA-ESO) was recovered by evaporating the water off under reduced pressure.
Reactive Species and Reaction Pathways for the Oxidative Cleavage of 4-Octene and Oleic Acid with H2O2over Tungsten Oxide Catalysts

Oxidative cleavage of carbon-carbon double bonds (C-C) in alkenes and fatty acids produces aldehydes and acids valued as chemical intermediates. Solid tungsten oxide catalysts are low cost, nontoxic, and selective for the oxidative cleavage of C-C bonds with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and are, therefore, a promising option for continuous processes. Despite the relevance of these materials, the elementary steps involved and their sensitivity to the form of W sites present on surfaces have not been described. Here, we combine in situ spectroscopy and rate measurements to identify significant steps in the reaction and the reactive species present on the catalysts and examine differences between the kinetics of this reaction on isolated W atoms grafted to alumina and on those exposed on crystalline WO3 nanoparticles. Raman spectroscopy shows that W-peroxo complexes (W-(η2-O2)) formed from H2O2 react with alkenes in a kinetically relevant step to produce epoxides, which undergo hydrolysis at protic surface sites. Subsequently, the CH3CN solvent deprotonates diols to form alpha-hydroxy ketones that react to form aldehydes and water following nucleophilic attack of H2O2. Turnover rates for oxidative cleavage, determined by in situ site titrations, on WOx-Al2O3 are 75% greater than those on WO3 at standard conditions. These differences reflect the activation enthalpies (ΔH?) for the oxidative cleavage of 4-octene that are much lower than those for the isolated WOx sites (36 ± 3 and 60 ± 6 kJ·mol-1 for WOx-Al2O3 and WO3, respectively) and correlate strongly with the difference between the enthalpies of adsorption for epoxyoctane (ΔHads,epox), which resembles the transition state for epoxidation. The WOx-Al2O3 catalysts mediate oxidative cleavage of oleic acid with H2O2 following a mechanism comparable to that for the oxidative cleavage of 4-octene. The WO3 materials, however, form only the epoxide and do not cleave the C-C bond or produce aldehydes and acids. These differences reflect the distinct site requirements for these reaction pathways and indicate that acid sites required for diol formation are strongly inhibited by oleic acids and epoxides on WO3 whereas the Al2O3 support provides sites competent for this reaction and increase the yield of the oxidative cleavage products.

Elucidating the isomeric structure of free fatty acids (FAs) in biological samples is essential to comprehend their biological functions in various physiological and pathological processes. Herein, we report a novel approach of using peracetic acid (PAA) induced epoxidation coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) for localization of the CC bond in unsaturated FAs, which enables both quantification and spatial visualization of FA isomers from biological samples. Abundant diagnostic fragment ions indicative of the CC positions were produced upon fragmentation of the FA epoxides derived from either in-solution or on-tissue PAA epoxidation of free FAs. The performance of the proposed approach was evaluated by analysis of FAs in human cell lines as well as mapping the FA isomers from cancer tissue samples with MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS. Merits of the newly developed method include high sensitivity, simplicity, high reaction efficiency, and capability of spatial characterization of FA isomers in tissue samples.
