Biomolecule-derived supported cobalt nanoparticles for hydrogenation of industrial olefins, natural oils and more in water

Catalytic hydrogenation of olefins using noble metal catalysts or pyrophoric RANEY nickel is of high importance in the chemical industry. From the point of view of green and sustainable chemistry, design and development of Earth-abundant, less toxic, and more environmentally friendly catalysts are highly desirable. Herein, we report the convenient preparation of active cobalt catalysts and their application in hydrogenations of a wide range of terminal and internal carbon-carbon double bonds in water under mild conditions. Catalysts are prepared on multi-gram scale by pyrolysis of cobalt acetate and uracil, guanine, adenine or l-tryptophan. The most active material Co-Ura/C-600 showed good productivity in industrially relevant hydrogenation of diisobutene to isooctane and in natural oil hardening.

Increased activity of enzymatic transacylation of acrylates through rational design of lipases

A rational design approach was used to create the mutant Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB, also known as Pseudozyma antarctica lipase B) V190A having a kcat three times higher compared to that of the wild type (wt) enzyme for the transacylation of the industrially important compound methyl methacrylate. The enzymatic contribution to the transacylation of various acrylates and corresponding saturated esters was evaluated by comparing the reaction catalysed by CALB wt with the acid (H2SO4) catalysed reaction. The performances of CALB wt and mutants were compared to two other hydrolases, Humicola insolens cutinase and Rhizomucor mihei lipase. The low reaction rates of enzyme catalysed transacylation of acrylates were found to be caused mainly by electronic effects due to the double bond present in this class of molecules. The reduction in rate of enzyme catalysed transacylation of acrylates compared to that of the saturated ester methyl propionate was however less than what could be predicted from the energetic cost of breaking the π-system of acrylates solely. The nature and concentration of the acyl acceptor was found to have a profound effect on the reaction rate.

Substrate conformations set the rate of enzymatic acrylation by lipases

Acrylates represent a class of α,β-unsaturated compounds of high industrial importance. We investigated the influence of substrate conformations on the experimentally determined reaction rates of the enzyme-catalysed transacylation of methyl acrylate and derivatives by ab initio DFT B3LYP calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. The results supported a least-motion mechanism upon the sp2 to sp3 substrate transition to reach the transition state in the enzyme active site. This was in accordance with our hypothesis that acrylates form productive transition states from their low-energy s-sis/s-trans conformations. Apparent kcat values were measured for Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB), Humicola insolens cutlnase and Rhizomucor miehei lipase and were compared to results from computer simulations. More potent enzymes for acryltransfer, such as the CALB mutant V190A and acrylates with higher turnover numbers, showed elevated populations of productive transition states.
