Structural diversity of peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation products of o-methoxyphenols

Equation presented. The biocatalytjc oxidation of o-methoxyphenolic compounds led to a variety of oligophenols (dimers to pentamers) and some of their oxidation products. The reaction was carried out in an aqueous medium at room temperature with hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant in a facile and green route to potentially bioactive compounds. Detailed structural information on the products of peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of o-methoxyphenols is presented for the first time.

A highly efficient approach to vanillin starting from 4-cresol

A highly efficient approach to the famous flavor and fragrance compound vanillin has been developed starting from 4-cresol with the attention focused on improving the sustainability of all the reactions. The approach involves a three-step sequence of the quasi-quantitative selective clean oxybromination of 4-cresol, the high-yield selective aerobic oxidation of 2-bromo-4-cresol, and the quantitative methoxylation of 3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with the recovery of pure methanol. Herein, the pivotal oxidation and methoxylation reactions are logically investigated and developed into two concise methodologies. As a green alternative, the approach holds significant value for the sustainable manufacturing of vanillin. the Partner Organisations 2014.
