N-(2-Hydroxypropyl)formamide (HPF) and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methylformamide (HMF) were used independently as new plasticizers for corn starch to prepare thermoplastic starch (TPS). The hydrogen bond interaction between HPF (or HMF) and starch was proven by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. By scanning electron microscopy, starch granules were shown to be completely disrupted and homogeneous materials were obtained. The crystallinity of corn starch, HPF-plasticized TPS (PTPS) and HMF-plasticized TPS (MTPS) was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The crystallinity of TPS was affected by the structure of plasticizer. The water resistance of PTPS was better than that of MTPS. At medium relative humidity (RH), both tensile strength and elongation at break of PTPS were higher than those of MTPS. At high RH, the elongation at break of PTPS was higher than that of MTPS, while the tensile strength of PTPS was close to that of MTPS.

This paper describes a novel approach to CO2 hydrogenation, in which CO2 capture with aminoethanols at low pressure is coupled with hydrogenation of the captured product, oxazolidinone, directly to MeOH. In particular, (2-methylamino)ethanol or valinol captures CO2 at 1-3 bar in the presence of catalytic Cs2CO3 to give the corresponding oxazolidinones in up to 65-70 and 90-95% yields, respectively. Efficient hydrogenation of oxazolidinones was achieved using PNN pincer Ru catalysts to give the corresponding aminoethanol (up to 95-100% yield) and MeOH (up to 78-92% yield). We also have shown that both CO2 capture and oxazolidinone hydrogenation can be performed in the same reaction mixture using a simple protocol that avoids intermediate isolation or purification steps. For example, CO2 can be captured by valinol at 1 bar with Cs2CO3 catalyst followed by 4-isopropyl-2-oxazolidinone hydrogenation in the presence of a bipy-based pincer Ru catalyst to produce MeOH in 50% yield after two steps.
