An easily handled one-pot synthetic procedure was previously developed for the synthesis of bisphosphinates starting from acyl chlorides. Herein, other trivalent derivatives as acid anhydrides and activated esters were tested to form various bisphosphinates. This modulation of the reactivity can be controlled according to the nature of the acid derivative for the use of sensitive and functionalized substrates.
MODIFIED CYTIDINE NUCLEOTIDES AND THEIR USE

Page/Page column 18; 19, (2019/04/11)
The present invention describes W-position modified cytidine nucleotides of formula (I). Provided herein are methods of chemical synthesis of ΛΡ-modified cytidine nucleoside triphosphates and their applications as well as uses of the cytidine analogues for the synthesis of modified nucleic acids. The nucleic acid molecule comprises DNA, RNA or a combination of DNA/RNA. One of many applications of modified cytidine nucleotides described herein is enzyme selection, when an enzyme of interest bears an activity of an esterase, amidase, oxidoreductase, lyase, ligase or other enzymatic activity, formula (I) wherein the substituants are as defined in the appended claims.

N-Acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) is one of the most abundant biomolecules on Earth and is cheaply available from chitin, a major component of crustaceans. The key step in the conversion of GlcNAc to high-value products is the de-N-acetylation to glucosamine, in itself a valuable dietary supplement that is produced at over 29:000 tons scale per annum by chemical hydrolysis, a process that requires harsh reaction conditions and leads to side products requiring separation. Here, we report for the first time the isolation and characterisation of an enzyme, a deacetylase from Cyclobacterium marinum that is able to catalyse the highly selective quantitative hydrolysis of GlcNAc to glucosamine under mild reaction conditions. This enzyme is small (38 kDa), is easily obtainable by heterologous expression in E. coli, has high turnover rates (kcat=61 s-1), tolerates high substrate concentrations (over 100 g L-1) and can be repeatedly re-used as an immobilised catalyst. When coupled with chitinase, the high selectivity of the enzyme for GlcNAc over other biomolecules allowed one-pot extraction of glucosamine from crude solid mushroom fractions containing chitin, thus allowing for alternative production of glucosamine from non-animal sources, of benefit to consumers with crustacean allergies and vegan diets. We suggest that the deacetylase fills an important gap in the sustainable exploitation of GlcNAc and chitin.
