In this work, a series of trifluoroethyl aliphatic carboxylates with different carbon-chain lengths in acyl group are prepared and investigated as the co-solvents for the carbonate-based electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries. The trifluoroethyl aliphatic carbonates are synthesized by a modified one-step approach, using aliphatic carboxylic acid and trifluoroethanol as the raw materials (molar ratio, 1.2:1), hydrogen ion exchange resin as the catalyst and silica gel drier as the de-hydration. The structure and electrochemical properties of the final products have been characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, GC-MS, viscosity, conductivity meter and electrochemical measurements. The structure characterizations show that the final products have high purity. Electrochemical tests present that the co-solvents are able to improve the electrochemical performances of graphite electrode at low temperature. In particular, we find that an addition of trifluoroethyl n-hexanoate (TFENH) into 1 M LiPF6/EC + EMC electrolyte can significantly decrease the Li de-intercalation potential of graphite by 540 mV and achieve a high capacity retention of 92% at 218 K. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements indicate that the observed performance improvement at low temperature is associated with the decreased surface film resistance (R SEI) by the addition of co-solvents.

The selective synthesis of 1,6-diacyl D-mannitols from 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl esters using transesterification, catalyzed by lipases, has been investigated, and the results have been compared with those obtained from a typical acid chloride procedure and a

Thiolysis of p-nitrophenyl esters (acetate to decanoate) by the anion of 2-mercaptoethanol (ME) is catalyzed by micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in aqueous solution. At fixed [ME], the observed rate constants (k(obs)) show saturation with
Chemical Inactivation of Lipase in Organic Solvent: A Lipase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa TE3285 is More Like a Typical Serine Enzyme in an Organic Solvent than in Aqueous Media

A microbial lipase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa TE3285 was treated in anhydrous diispropyl ether with three kinds of serine-reactive reagents, ethyl p-nitrophenyl methylphosphonate (ENMP), diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP), and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) to lose its catalytical activity for both transesterification in an organic solvent and ester hydrolysis in aqueous system.In contrast with the facile inactivation in an organic solvent, no or very slow inactivation was observed in an aqueous solution.The lipase was shown to behave more like a typical serineenzyme in an organic solvent than in aqueous solution with regard to the chemical inactivation by serine-reactive reagents.The unique behavior of the lipase in an organic solvent may be associated with interfacial activation of the lipase, which is one of the most distinct characteristics of the lipase family, and the activation of lipase could be induced by a hydrophobic interaction with an organic solvent.
Acid-Catalyzed Reaction of 2,2,2-Trifluorodiazoethane for Analysis of Functional Groups by 19F Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry

The acid-catalyzed reactions of trifluorodiazoethane with alcohols, phenols, thiols, and carboxylic acids are reported.The yield data for these trifluoroethyl derivatives suggest a simple, and in many cases, quantitative method for introduction of a fluorine tagging group.The 19F chemical shifts indicate that most functional groups (e.g., phenols, alcohols, etc.) have fairly well resolved chemical shifts regions.In addition, paramagnetic shift reagents have been utilized to selectively differentiate carboxylic acids from other active hydrogen functional groups.
