Chemical modification of camelina oil based unsaturated fatty acid for renewable biolubricant base stock

A green and eco-friendly method for preparation of oleochemicals from Camelina oil was developed for possible application for bio-lubricant basestocks, The steps involved are consisting of epoxidation of Camelina oil based fatty acid followed by further branching with wide range of alcohol such as 2-propanol, n-butanol, isoamyl alcohol and 2-ethylhexanol. These products were evaluated with physico-chemical properties such as acid value, oxirane oxygen content (OOC), hydroxyl value, low temperature properties, viscosity at 40 and 100 °C, viscosity index and characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR. The appearance of peak at 824 cm-1 in the FTIR spectra was due to the formation of epoxy group and broad peak appeared at 3500-3300 cm-1 is for hydrogen bonded O-H stretching vibration of hydroxy group. The 1H NMR spectra showed a signal at 2.9-3.2 ppm region indicated CH-proton attached to the oxygen atom of the both epoxy group for epoxidized product, peaks for newly formed secondary alcohols emerged at 4.25-3.35 in alkoxy derivatives. The Camelina based synthetic product may find application in biolubricants base stock.

Quantification and molecular imaging of fatty acid isomers from complex biological samples by mass spectrometry

Elucidating the isomeric structure of free fatty acids (FAs) in biological samples is essential to comprehend their biological functions in various physiological and pathological processes. Herein, we report a novel approach of using peracetic acid (PAA) induced epoxidation coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) for localization of the CC bond in unsaturated FAs, which enables both quantification and spatial visualization of FA isomers from biological samples. Abundant diagnostic fragment ions indicative of the CC positions were produced upon fragmentation of the FA epoxides derived from either in-solution or on-tissue PAA epoxidation of free FAs. The performance of the proposed approach was evaluated by analysis of FAs in human cell lines as well as mapping the FA isomers from cancer tissue samples with MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS. Merits of the newly developed method include high sensitivity, simplicity, high reaction efficiency, and capability of spatial characterization of FA isomers in tissue samples.

Highly efficient epoxidation of vegetable oils catalyzed by a manganese complex with hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid

Epoxidized vegetable oils (EVOs) are versatile building blocks for lubricants, plasticizers, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) stabilizers, and surface coating formulations. In this paper, a catalytic protocol for the efficient epoxidation of vegetable oils is presented that is based on a combination of a manganese catalyst, H2O2 as an oxidant, and acetic acid as an additive. This protocol relies on the use of a homogeneous catalyst based on the non-noble metal manganese in combination with a racemic mixture of the N,N′-bis(2-picolyl)-2,2′-bispyrrolidine ligand (rac-BPBP). The optimized reaction conditions entail only 0.03 mol% of the manganese catalyst with respect to the number of double bonds (ca. 0.1 wt% with respect to the oil) and ambient temperature. This epoxidation protocol is highly efficient, since it allows most of the investigated vegetable oils, including cheap waste cooking oil, to be fully epoxidized to EVOs in more than 90% yield with excellent epoxide selectivities (>90%) within 2 h of reaction time. In addition, the protocol takes place in a biphasic reaction medium constituted by the vegetable oil itself and an aqueous acetic acid phase, from which the epoxidized product can be easily separated via simple extraction. In terms of efficiency and reaction conditions, the current epoxidation protocol outperforms previously reported catalytic protocols for plant oil epoxidation, representing a promising alternative method for EVO production.

Selective Epoxidation of Fatty Acids and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters by Fungal Peroxygenases

Recently discovered fungal unspecific peroxygenases from Marasmius rotula and Chaetomium globosum catalyze the epoxidation of unsaturated fatty acids (FA) and FA methyl esters (FAME), unlike the well-known peroxygenases from Agrocybe aegerita and Coprinopsis cinerea. Reactions of a series of unsaturated FA and FAME with cis-configuration revealed high (up to 100 %) substrate conversion and selectivity towards epoxidation, although some significant differences were observed between enzymes and substrates with the best results being obtained with the C. globosum enzyme. This and the M. rotula peroxygenase appear as promising biocatalysts for the environmentally-friendly production of reactive FA epoxides given their self-sufficient monooxygenase activity and the high conversion rate and epoxidation selectivity.

PREPARATION OF VEGETABLE OIL-BASED MONOMERS FOR USE IN THERMOSETTING RESINS

The present embodiments herein generally relate to thermoset resins that are derived from vegetable oil based sources, including fibrous plant sources. The utilization of plant based oil as starting materials makes the technology a green alternative to currently available solutions. This, coupled with the novel synthetic methods that are utilized, results in a transformation of the plant based oils into useful, durable, and resilient thermoset resins.

Amphiphilic dipyridinium-phosphotungstate as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for triphasic fatty ester epoxidation and oxidative cleavage with hydrogen peroxide

A novel amphiphilic dipyridinium peroxophosphotungstate ion pair was developed as a selective and recyclable catalyst for the triphasic epoxidation of fatty acids and esters with hydrogen peroxide. The synthesis of the catalyst was studied extensively by solid and liquid phase 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The oxidation of vegetable oils is of prime importance for the production of lubricants, plasticizers, polymer stabilizers and other olefinic compounds. Based on the oxidizing activity of peroxophosphotungstates, we designed a lipophilic phase transfer agent that renders the active complex insoluble in the reaction media, without having to support it on a matrix. This affords a catalyst combining the activity of homogeneous catalysts and the recyclability of heterogeneous systems. We show that this catalyst is able to fully epoxidize methyl oleate with excellent selectivity, with a turnover frequency of 149 at 60 °C, and can be easily recycled, to reach a record turn over number of 1868. A larger scale experiment on 13 grams and a scope including linoleic and ricinoleic acids were also demonstrated. The catalyst also shows excellent activity and selectivity for the oxidative cleavage of methyl oleate and the oxidation of small olefins.

Biocatalytic green approach for epoxidation of fatty compounds derived from soyadeodistillate under acid free conditions

An efficient green approach for the biocatalytic epoxidation of fatty compounds derived from soyadeodistillate using Fermase CalB enzyme with hydrogen peroxide under acid free conditions is described. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report on the chemoenzymatic epoxidation of fatty esters having branched alkyl chain without using additional acid as an oxygen carrier. After completion of the reaction the immobilized enzyme catalyst was easily recovered by filtration and reused for successive four runs with the marginal loss in catalytic activity.

Design and synthesis of protein kinase C epsilon selective diacylglycerol lactones (DAG-lactones)

DAG-lactones afford a synthetically accessible, high affinity platform for probing structure activity relationships at the C1 regulatory domain of protein kinase C (PKC). Given the central role of PKC isoforms in cellular signaling, along with their differential biological activities, a critical objective is the design of isoform selective ligands. Here, we report the synthesis of a series of DAG-lactones varying in their side chains, with a particular focus on linoleic acid derivatives. We evaluated their selectivity for PKC epsilon versus PKC alpha both under standard lipid conditions (100% phosphatidylserine, PS) as well as in the presence of a nuclear membrane mimetic lipid mixture (NML). We find that selectivity for PKC epsilon versus PKC alpha tended to be enhanced in the presence of the nuclear membrane mimetic lipid mixture and, for our lead compound, report a selectivity of 32-fold.

Analysis of fatty acid epoxidation by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with evaporative light scattering detection and mass spectrometry

Conventionally, epoxidation of unsaturated fatty acids has been studied either with titrimetric methods or in a lengthy procedure involving derivatization followed by gas chromatography (GC). We have developed a more rapid and descriptive analysis procedure for the substances using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD). Chemo-enzymatic epoxidation of unsaturated fatty acids (oleic, linoleic and linolenic acid, respectively) has been performed using hydrogen peroxide and immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica (Novozym 435). The fatty acids and their epoxidation products were separated by HPLC on a C-18 reversed-phase column using methanol-water containing 0.05% acetic acid as mobile phase. The method facilitated the simultaneous determination of fatty acids and epoxides differing from each other in the number of epoxide rings, the degree of unsaturation and the position of the epoxide rings and double bonds. An important aspect of the method development was the use of electrospray ionization and tandem mass spectrometry to confirm the structure of the epoxide products. It is suggested that the HPLC method, providing more information about the kind and concentration of fatty acids and their epoxides, represents a powerful complement to the existing methods for monitoring epoxidation processes on fatty acids.
