Page/Page column 5, (2012/06/16)
A method for recovery of highly pure alkyl lactate and lactic acid is provided, which includes a step 1 for producing source liquid comprising lactic acid or ammonium lactate; a step 2 for dehydrating the source liquid product of step 1; a step 3 for producing liquid mixture by sequentially adding and stirring alcohol and acid solution to the dehydrated source liquid; a step 4 for separating and removing ammonium salt precipitation from the liquid mixture of step 3; a step 5 for producing alkyl lactate from ammonium salt-free liquid mixture by esterification reaction; and a step 6 for separating alcohol and alkyl lactate by distillation from the mixture of step 5.

Different chiral mono-substituted N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of rhodium were prepared, starting from [Rh(COD)Cl]2 (COD = cyclooctadiene) by addition of free N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC), or an in-situ deprotonation of the corresponding iminium salt. All new complexes were characterized by spectroscopy methods. In addition, the structures of chloro(η4-1,5-cyclooctadiene)(1,3-di-[(1R,2R,3R,5S)-2,6, 6-trimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-3-yl] imidazolin-2-ylidene)rhodium(I) (5a), chloro(η4-1,5-cyclooctadiene)(1,3-di-[(1R,2S,5R) -2-isopropyl-5-menthylcyclohex-1-yl]imidazol-2-ylidene)rhodium(I) (5b) and chloro(η4-1,5-cyclooctadiene)(1,3-di-[(2R,4S,5S) -2-methyl-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxacyclohex-5-yl]imidazolin-2-ylidene)rhodium(I) (5i) were analyzed by DFT-calculations. The enantioselective hydrosilylation of acetophenone, ethylpyruvate and n-propylpyruvate with diphenylsilane and hydrolysis was carried out with chiral C2-symmetrical mono-substituted N-heterocyclic carbene rhodium complexes giving for the first time an enantioselective excess of up to 74% ee in the case of the n-propylpyruvate.
Enantioselective hydrogenation of pyruvates over polymer-stabilized and supported platinum nanoclusters

The cinchonidine-modified enantioselective hydrogenation of pyruvates has been studied over polyvinylpyrrolidone-stabilized platinum (PVP-Pt) and the corresponding alumina-supported platinum (Al2O3-Pt) clusters. It is shown that the catalysts with particle size less than 2.0 nm demonstrate >90% enantioselectivity in favor of (R)-lactates. The solvent effect is similar to that over the conventional supported platinum catalyst except for tetrahydrofuran. These colloidal and supported clusters are stable with no obvious loss of activity and enantioselectivity even after 18 months standing in air at room temperature. Molecular mechanics calculations of the modifier- reactant interaction on the platinum surface suggest that it is possible to obtain good enantioselectivity on the small clusters.
