Transesterification of Methyl 2-Nitroacetate to Superior Esters

Methyl 2-nitroacetate and methyl acetoacetate have in common the presence of an electron-withdrawing substituent geminal to the methyl ester function but the well-known ease of thermal transesterification of methyl acetoacetate has not been found in methyl 2-nitroacetate. The latter gives uncatalysed thermal transesterification only in low yield and at a temperature higher than that of methyl acetoacetate. Comparative experiments provided further insight into the reactions; protic and Lewis acid catalysts promoted the smooth exchange of the alkanoyl groups, observing first the transesterification of methyl 2-nitroacetate with ethanol, already proved difficult to proceed. Dibutyltin(IV)oxide (DBTO) catalyst offered the spur to set up a convenient synthetic methodology from methyl 2-nitroacetate, encompassing higher molecular weight and functionalised alcohols: aliphatic, unsaturated and oxidation sensitive species were suited to react, delivering the corresponding 2-nitroacetate esters in good yields in most cases.

Synthesis of Large Mesoporous-Macroporous and High Pore Volume, Mixed Crystallographic Phase Manganese Oxide, Mn2O3/Mn3O4 Sponge

The controlled synthesis of mixed crystallographic phase Mn2O3/Mn3O4 sponge material by varying heating rates and isothermal segments provides valuable information about the morphological and physical properties of the obtained sample. The well-characterized Mn2O3/Mn3O4 sponge and applicability of difference in reactivity of H2 and CO2 desorbed during the synthesis provide new developments in the synthesis of metal oxide materials with unique morphological and surface properties. We report the preparation of a Mn2O3/Mn3O4 sponge using a metal nitrate salt, water, and Dextran, a biopolymer consisting of glucose monomers. The Mn2O3/Mn3O4 sponge prepared at 1 °C·min-1 heating rate to 500 °C and held isothermally for 1 h consisted of large mesopores-macropores (25.5 nm, pore diameter) and a pore volume of 0.413 mL/g. Furthermore, the prepared Mn2O3/Mn3O4 and 5 mol %-Fe-Mn2O3/Mn3O4 sponges provide potential avenues in the development of solid-state catalyst materials for alcohol and amine oxidation reactions.

Structure-function correlation in lipase catalysed esterification reactions of short and medium carbon chain length alcohols and acids

An attempt has been made to correlate the carbon chain lengths of acids and alcohols to the extent of esterification in the Rhizomucor miehei lipase catalyzed esterification reactions involving acids of carbon chain length C2-C5 and alcohols of carbon chain length C1-C8.
