Agricultural residues like sugar beet pulp (SBP) are an interesting feedstock for the production of 2nd generation bio-based chemicals and materials. The pectin fraction of SBP is rich in galacturonic acid (GalA), a C6 sugar acid. The oxidation of this uronic acid at C1 yields galactaric acid (GA), which has several industrially interesting properties. It was previously shown that the Au catalysed oxidation of uronic acids under basic conditions is highly effective, yet leads to the co-production of salts. Hence, here we report for the first time on the oxidation of an acidic carbohydrate substrate, GalA, at its autogenic pH (2.2) in water, using carbon supported gold nanoparticles, under mild conditions in the presence of molecular oxygen. The comparison of the Au/C catalyst prepared by a colloidal deposition method with benchmark commercially available metal oxide supported gold catalysts shows that under acidic conditions, the Au/C catalyst is more active and more selective than Au/TiO2, and more stable than Au/Al2O3. The difference in selectivity is attributed to the H2O2 mediated chain scission reaction of the substrate (GalA) which is observed only in the case of metal oxide supported Au catalysts. The Au/C catalyst shows 100% GA selectivity at 76% GalA conversion (333 K, 21 h batch time) and a GA yield of up to 95% was obtained at 353 K. Detailed characterization of the fresh and spent Au/C catalysts by ICP-OES, TEM and XPS analyses showed no gold leaching, particle sintering or change in metal composition. The Au/C catalyst was fully regenerated by a mild alkaline wash, and used in five consecutive runs without any significant decrease in activity or selectivity. Labelling experiments with 18O2 and H218O2 revealed that under base-free conditions, the oxygen incorporated in the aldaric acid originates from the solvent water.
OXIDATION OF URONIC ACIDS TO ALDARIC ACIDS
-
Paragraph 0032; 0037, (2017/11/10)
Disclosed is the oxidation of uronic acids, such as galacturonic acid, to the corresponding aldaric acids, such as galactaric acid, under neutral or acidic conditions. Use is made of a supported gold catalyst. The oxidation occurs in good selectivity and yield, under unexpectedly mild conditions. A source of galacturonic acids is pectins, such as from sugar beet pulp.

Seven phenolic compounds, 1 – 7, including a new organic acid gallate, mucic acid 1-ethyl 6-methyl ester 2-O-gallate (7), were isolated from the MeOH extract of the fruits of Phyllanthus emblica L. (Euphorbiaceae). The structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis and comparison with literature data. Upon evaluated for their antioxidant abilities by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The inhibitory activities against melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells induced by α-MSH, as well as cytotoxic activities against four human cancer cell lines were also evaluated. All phenolic compounds, 1 – 7, exhibited potent antioxidant abilities (DPPH: IC50 5.6 – 12.9 μm; ABTS: 0.87 – 8.43 μm Trolox/μm; FRAP: 1.01 – 5.79 μm Fe2+/μm, respectively). Besides, 5 – 7, also exhibited moderate inhibitory activities against melanogenesis (80.7 – 86.8% melanin content), even with no or low toxicity to the cells (93.5 – 101.6% cell viability) at a high concentration of 100 μm. Compounds 1 – 3 exhibited cytotoxic activity against one or more cell lines (IC50 13.9 – 68.4%), and compound 1 with high tumor selectivity for A549 (SI 3.2).

Adipic acid is one of the most important industrial dicarboxylic acids and is used mainly as a precursor to nylon-6,6. Currently, commercial adipic acid is produced primarily from benzene by a chemical route that is associated with environmental, health, and safety concerns. Herein, we report a new process to produce adipic acid from an inexpensive renewable feedstock, sugar beet residue by combining an engineered Escherichia coli strain and Re-based chemical catalysts. The engineered E.coli converted d-galacturonic acid to mucic acid, which was precipitated easily with acid, and the mucic acid was further converted to adipic acid by a deoxydehydration reaction catalyzed by an oxorhenium complex followed by a Pt/C-catalyzed hydrogenation reaction under mild conditions. A high selectivity to the free acid products was achieved by tuning the acidity of the Re-based catalysts. Finally, adipic acid was produced directly from sugar beet residue that was hydrolyzed enzymatically with engineered E.coli and two chemical catalysts in a yield of 8.4 %, which signifies a new route for the production of adipic acid.

Herein, uronic acids available from hemicelluloses and pectin were used as raw material for the synthesis of aldaric acids. Au/Al2O3 catalyst oxidized glucuronic and galacturonic acids quantitatively to the corresponding glucaric and galactaric acids at pH 8-10 and 40-60 °C with oxygen as oxidant. The pH has a significant effect on the initial reaction rate as well as desorption of acid from the catalyst surface. At pH 10, a TOF value close to 8000 h-1 was measured for glucuronic acid oxidation. The apparent activation energy Ea for glucuronic acid oxidation is dependent on the pH which can be attributed to the higher energy barrier for desorption of acids at lower pH. This journal is

-
Page/Page column 12-13, (2013/10/22)
Disclosed is the oxidation of uronic acids, such as galacturonic acid, to the corresponding aldaric acids (characterized by the formula HOOC-(CHOH)n-COOH, with n being an integer of from 1 to 5) such as galactaric acids. The starting material comprising the uronic acid is subjected to oxygen under the influence of a supported gold catalyst and in the presence of a base. The oxidation occurs in good selectivity and yield, under unexpectedly mild conditions. A source of galacturonic acids is pectin, such as that derived from sugar beet pulp.
D-galacturonic acid as a highly reactive compound in nonenzymatic browning. 1. Formation of browning active degradation products
Bornik, Maria-Anna,Kroh, Lothar W.
, p. 3494 - 3500 (2013/06/05)
Thermal treatment of an aqueous solution of d-galacturonic acid at pH 3, 5, and 8 led to rapid browning of the solution and to the formation of carbocyclic compounds such as reductic acid (2,3-dihydroxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one), DHCP (4,5-dihydroxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one), and furan-2-carbaldehyde, as degradation products in weak acidic solution. Studies on their formation revealed 2-ketoglutaraldehyde as their common key intermediate. Norfuraneol (4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-(2H)-furanone) is a typical alkaline degradation product and formed after isomerization. Further model studies revealed reductic acid as an important and more browning active compound than furan-2-carbaldehyde, which led to a red color of the model solution. This red-brown color is also characteristic of thermally treated uronic acid solutions.
Photoinduced electron transfer in pentacoordinated complex of zinc tetraphenylporphyrin and isoquinoline N-oxide. Crystal structure, spectroscopy and DFT studies

body text, p. 2391 - 2399 (2011/10/10)
A novel, pentacoordinated complex of (1:1) zinc tetraphenylporphyrin and isoquinoline N-oxide (ZnTPP-IQNO) was synthesized and its crystal structure along with photophysical properties by experimental methods (absorption, steady state and time-resolved emission) in conjunction with DFT and TD DFT calculations were investigated. In ZnTPP-IQNO complex, the isoquinoline N-oxide ligand (IQNO) is directly coordinated to the central zinc atom of the ZnTPP unit through the oxygen atom of the NO group and crystallizes in centrosymmetric triclinic unit, in the space group P1. Particular contacts between the two monomeric units (hydrogen bonds, O...H-C interactions, ...etc.) lead to a supramolecular dimer which forms the layers propagating both along the a and the b-axis. The electronic locally excited and the charge-transfer states of the complex were calculated by TDDFT CAM-B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method. A surprising presence of the charge transfer states between the Soret and the Q bands leads to excitation energy dissipation processes involving the opening of the radiationless channels of excited ZnTPP-IQNO complex. Emission from the S 1 state (Q band) in ethyl acetate decays accordingly to monoexponential function (1.92 ns) while a bi-exponential decay is found in n-propanol [(2.5 ns (87%); 14.4 ns (13%)] and in the solid state [1.36 ns (67.5%), 7.31 ns (32.5%)].
