The two layered double hydroxides ZnAl-LDH and MgAl-LDH were functionalized with bis(4-HOOC-phenyl)-acenaphthenequinonediimine) (H2BIAN), leading to the intercalation of its dianion, which in a second step reacted with [Mo(CO)3X2(NCMe)2] (X = I, Br), affording four new materials. These materials and the two complexes [Mo(CO)3X2(H2BIAN)2] (X = I, Br) were tested in the olefin epoxidation reaction with substrates cis-cyclooctene, styrene, 1-octene, trans-hex-3-en-1-ol, and R-(+)-limonene, using tert-butylhydroperoxide (tbhp) as oxidant. The new catalysts were particularly good for cis-cyclooctene and styrene (100% conversions) and at least one heterogeneous catalyst was comparable to the homogeneous ones in the epoxidation of 1-octene and trans-hex-3-en-1-ol. The homogeneous catalysts were the best to oxidize R-(+)-limonene (higher conversions).

The Mo(II) complexes [MoX2(CO)3(BDC)] (X?=?I, Br; H2BDC?=?2,2′-bipyridine-5,5′-dicarboxylic acid) were immobilized by intercalation in two layered double hydroxides (LDH), containing Zn/Al (synthesized) and Mg/Al (commercial), as shown by infrared and13C solid state NMR spectroscopies, and X-ray powder diffraction. Their catalytic activity was studied in olefin oxidation, using as oxidant tert-butylhydroperoxide (tbhp), and was compared with the activity of the related [MoX2(CO)3(bpy)] complexes (bpy?=?2,2′-bipyridine). cis-Cyclooctene, styrene, 1-octene, trans-hex-3-en-1-ol, and R-(+)-limonene were the substrates tested. All the catalyst showed in average a high selectivity toward the epoxide of each substrate (above 90%, except for styrene), with variable conversions, but none of the heterogeneous catalysts proved to be more active than the homogeneous ones. The same or higher activity in a second catalytic run, as observed in most reactions, suggests a good recycling capability.

Solvent-free continuous flow epoxidation of the alkene bonds of a range of biorenewable terpene substrates have been carried out using a recyclable tungsten-based polyoxometalate phase transfer catalyst and aqueous H2O2 as a benign oxidant. These sustainable flow epoxidation reactions are carried out in commercial microreactors containing static mixing channels that enable common monoterpenes (e.g. untreated crude sulfate turpentine, limonene, etc.) to be safely epoxidized in short reaction times and in good yields. These flow procedures are applicable for the flow epoxidation of trisubstituted and disubstituted alkenes for the safe production of multigram quantities of a wide range of epoxides. This journal is

The selective catalytic synthesis of limonene-derived monofunctional cyclic carbonates and their subsequent functionalisation via thiol–ene addition and amine ring-opening is reported. A phosphotungstate polyoxometalate catalyst used for limonene epoxidation in the 1,2-position is shown to also be active in cyclic carbonate synthesis, allowing a two-step, one-pot synthesis without intermittent epoxide isolation. When used in conjunction with a classical halide catalyst, the polyoxometalate increased the rate of carbonation in a synergistic double-activation of both substrates. The cis isomer is shown to be responsible for incomplete conversion and by-product formation in commercial mixtures of 1,2-limomene oxide. Carbonation of 8,9-limonene epoxide furnished the 8,9-limonene carbonate for the first time. Both cyclic carbonates underwent thiol–ene addition reactions to yield linked di-monocarbonates, which can be used in linear non-isocyanate polyurethanes synthesis, as shown by their facile ring-opening with N-hexylamine. Thus, the selective catalytic route to monofunctional limonene carbonates gives straightforward access to monomers for novel bio-based polymers.

A novel type of hybrid catalytic materials [MnII-L?BC] has been developed using biochar (BC) as support material for covalent grafting of a MnII Schiff-base catalyst (MnII-L). The hybrid [MnII-L?BC] materials have been evaluated for an important catalytic process, epoxidation of olefins using H2O2 as oxidant. A number of different substrates were used, with cyclohexene achieving the highest yields. When compared to the non-grafted, homogeneous MnII-L, the hybrid catalysts [MnII-L?BC] show a significant enhancement of the catalytic efficiency i.e. as documented by the increase of Turnover Numbers (TONs) (826 for [MnII-L-SS550ox] and 822 for [MnII-L-SW550ox]) and Turnover Frequencies (TOFs) (551 h?1 for [MnII-L-SS550ox] and 411 h?1 for [MnII-L-SW550ox]). The interfacial catalytic mechanism and the role of the BC support have been analyzed by Raman and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopies. Based on these data we discuss a mechanism where the high efficiency of the hybrid materials involves the biochar carbon layers acting as promoters of the substrate and products kinetics. To a broader context, this work exemplifies that biochar-based hybrid materials are potent for oxidative catalysis technologies.

A tungsten-based polyoxometalate catalyst employing aqueous H2O2 as a benign oxidant has been used for the solvent free catalytic epoxidation of the trisubstituted alkene bonds of a wide range of biorenewable terpene substrates. This epoxidation protocol has been scaled up to produce limonene oxide, 3-carene oxide and α-pinene oxide on a multigram scale, with the catalyst being recycled three times to produce 3-carene oxide. Epoxidation of the less reactive disubstituted alkene bonds of terpene substrates could be achieved by carrying out catalytic epoxidation reactions at 50 °C. Methods have been developed that enable direct epoxidation of untreated crude sulfate turpentine to afford 3-carene oxide, α-pinene oxide and β-pinene oxide. Treatment of crude epoxide products (no work-up) with a heterogeneous acid catalyst (Amberlyst-15) results in clean epoxide hydrolysis to afford their corresponding terpene-anti-diols in good yields.

Paragraph 0068-0070; 0073-0075, (2019/05/21)
The invention belongs to the trans - menthyl - 2, 8 - diene - 1 - ol preparation technology field, in particular to a trans - menthyl - 2, 8 - diene - 1 - ol synthesis process. The synthesizing process comprises the following steps: (1) in order to limonene as raw materials, in order to lipase catalytic oxidation to obtain the 1, 2 - epoxy limonene; (2) the 1, 2 - epoxy limonene in the presence of sodium borohydride and diphenyl [...] open-loop formed limonene selenide; (3) the limonene selenide in under the action of the oxidizing agent forms the selenium oxide then undergo elimination reaction trans - menthyl - 2, 8 - diene - 1 - ol. The invention through the material and a prepared selective lipase catalyzed the situation that the 1, 2 - epoxy limonene, the need for complex purification process can increase the purity of the reaction intermediate, thereby improving the final product trans - menthyl - 2, 8 - diene - 1 - ol of chiral purity.

Cytochromes P450 are enzymes that catalyse the oxidation of a wide variety of compounds that range from small volatile compounds, such as monoterpenes to larger compounds like steroids. These enzymes can be modified to selectively oxidise substrates of interest, thereby making them attractive for applications in the biotechnology industry. In this study, we screened a small library of terpenes and terpenoid compounds against P450cin and two P450cin mutants, N242A and N242T, that have previously been shown to affect selectivity. Initial screening indicated that P450cin could catalyse the oxidation of most of the monoterpenes tested; however, sesquiterpenes were not substrates for this enzyme or the N242A mutant. Additionally, both P450cin mutants were found to be able to oxidise other bicyclic monoterpenes. For example, the oxidation of (R)- and (S)-camphor by N242T favoured the production of 5-endo-hydroxycamphor (65–77% of the total products, dependent on the enantiomer), which was similar to that previously observed for (R)-camphor with N242A (73%). Selectivity was also observed for both (R)- and (S)-limonene where N242A predominantly produced the cis-limonene 1,2-epoxide (80% of the products following (R)-limonene oxidation) as compared to P450cin (23% of the total products with (R)-limonene). Of the three enzymes screened, only P450cin was observed to catalyse the oxidation of the aromatic terpene p-cymene. All six possible hydroxylation products were generated from an in vivo expression system catalysing the oxidation of p-cymene and were assigned based on 1H NMR and GC-MS fragmentation patterns. Overall, these results have provided the foundation for pursuing new P450cin mutants that can selectively oxidise various monoterpenes for biocatalytic applications.
