An in-depth study of the supramolecular copolymerization behavior of N- and C-centered benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides (N- and C-BTAs) has been conducted in methylcyclohexane and in the solid state. The connectivity of the amide groups in the BTAs differs, and mixing N- and C-BTAs results in supramolecular copolymers with a blocky microstructure in solution. The blocky microstructure results from the formation of weaker and less organized, antiparallel hydrogen bonds between N- and C-BTAs. In methylcyclohexane, the helical threefold hydrogen-bonding network present in C- and N-BTAs is retained in the mixtures. In the solid state, in contrast, the hydrogen bonds of pure BTAs as well as their mixtures organize in a sheet-like pattern, and in the mixtures long-range order is lost. Drop-casting to kinetically trap the solution microstructures shows that C-BTAs retain the helical hydrogen bonds, but N-BTAs immediately adopt the sheet-like pattern, a direct consequence of the lower stabilization energy of the helical hydrogen bonds. In the copolymers, the stability of the helical aggregates depends on the copolymer composition, and helical aggregates are only preserved when a high amount of C-BTAs is present. The method outlined here is generally applicable to elucidate the copolymerization behavior of supramolecular monomers both in solution as well as in the solid state.

New cyanobacteria-derived bifunctional analogues of doscadenamide A, a LasR-dependent quorum sensing (QS) activator in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, characterized by dual acylation of the pyrrolinone core structure and the pendant side chain primary amine to form an imide/amide hybrid are reported. The identities of doscadenamides B-J were confirmed through total synthesis and a strategic focused library with different acylation and unsaturation patterns was created. Key molecular interactions for binding with LasR and a functional response through mutation studies coupled with molecular docking were identified. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) were probed in various Gram-negative bacteria, including P. aeruginosa and Vibrio harveyi, indicating that the pyrrolinone-N acyl chain is critical for full agonist activity, while the other acyl chain is dispensable or can result in antagonist activity, depending on the bacterial system. Since homoserine lactone (HSL) quorum sensing activators have been shown to act in synergy with TRAIL to induce apoptosis in cancer cells, selected doscadenamides were tested in orthogonal eukaryotic screening systems. The most potent QS agonists, doscadenamides S10-S12, along with doscadenamides F and S4 with partial or complete saturation of the acyl side chains, exhibited the most pronounced synergistic effects with TRAIL in triple negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. The overall correlation of the SAR with respect to prokaryotic and eukaryotic targets may hint at coevolutionary processes and intriguing host-bacteria relationships. The doscadenamide scaffold represents a non-HSL template for combination therapy with TRAIL pathway stimulators.

State-of-the-art catalyst systems for hydroxy- and alkoxycarbonylations of olefins make use of palladium complexes. In this work, we report a complementary ruthenium-catalysed hydroxycarbonylation of olefins applying an inexpensive Ru-precursor (Ru3(CO)12) and PCy3as a ligand. Crucial for the success of this transformation is the use of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as the solvent in the presence of an acid co-catalyst (PTSA). Overall, moderate to good yields are obtained using aliphatic olefins including the industrially relevant substrate di-isobutene. This atom-efficient catalytic transformation provides straightforward access to various carboxylic acids from unfunctionalized olefins.

A heterogeneous hydrocarboxylation process of olefins to obtain carboxylic acids with one more carbon was first realized using a single-Rh-site catalyst formed on porous organic polymer (Rh1/POPs). The in situ formation of hydrophilic porous ionic polymer from hydrophobic POPs with the help of CH3I led to high activity and superb stability.

The platinum-catalysed hydroxycarbonylation of olefins is reported for the first time. Using a combination of PtCl2/2,2′-bis(tert-butyl(pyridin-2-yl)phosphanyl)-1,1′-binaphthalene (Neolephos) in the presence of sulfuric acid [0.6 M] in acetic acid selective carbonylation of terminal aliphatic olefins proceeds to good yields and selectivities to the corresponding carboxylic acids. Comparing the reactivity of different butenes (iso- andn-butenes), the terminal olefin can be selectively carbonylated.
Process for the preparation of fatty acids

Paragraph 0179-0206; 0236-0238, (2020/09/04)
The invention discloses a method for preparing fatty acid. The method comprises the following steps: providing a first reactant which is a furan compound containing an carbonyl group; providing a second reactant which is a compound containing a carboxyl group, an ester group or an anhydride group and can participate in a condensation reaction with the carbonyl group of the first reactant; allowingthe first reactant and the second reactant to participate in a first condensation reaction, and allowing a C=O bond of the carbonyl group of the first reactant to be connected with alpha carbon of the carbonyl group of the second reactant and to be converted into a C=C bond so as to form a condensation product; and carrying out a second-step reaction under hydrogen pressure in the presence of a co-catalytic system of a hydrogenation catalyst and Lewis acid, opening a furan ring of the condensation product, carrying out hydrodeoxygenation at the same time, removing all oxygen except for oxygenin the carboxyl group, and allowing a carbon chain to be saturated so as to obtain the fatty acid.

The synthesis of carboxylic acids is of fundamental importance in the chemical industry and the corresponding products find numerous applications for polymers, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other manufactured chemicals. Although hydroxycarbonylations of olefins have been known for more than 60 years, currently known catalyst systems for this transformation do not fulfill industrial requirements, for example, stability. Presented herein for the first time is an aqueous-phase protocol that allows conversion of various olefins, including sterically hindered and demanding tetra-, tri-, and 1,1-disubstituted systems, as well as terminal alkenes, into the corresponding carboxylic acids in excellent yields. The outstanding stability of the catalyst system (26 recycling runs in 32 days without measurable loss of activity), is showcased in the preparation of an industrially relevant fatty acid. Key-to-success is the use of a built-in-base ligand under acidic aqueous conditions. This catalytic system is expected to provide a basis for new cost-competitive processes for the industrial production of carboxylic acids.
