Multi-enzymatic cascade reaction systems were designed to generate biopolymer monomers using Escherichia coli-based cell modules, capable of carrying out one-pot reactions. Three cell-based modules, including a ω-hydroxylation module (Cell-Hm) to convert fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) to ω-hydroxy fatty acids (ω-HFAs), an amination module (Cell-Am) to convert terminal alcohol groups of the substrate to amine groups, and a reduction module (Cell-Rm) to convert the carboxyl groups of fatty acids to alcohol groups, were constructed. The product-oriented assembly of these cell modules involving multi-enzymatic cascade reactions generated ω-ADAs (up to 46 mM), α,ω-diols (up to 29 mM), ω-amino alcohols (up to 29 mM) and α,ω-diamines (up to 21 mM) from 100 mM corresponding FAME substrates with varying carbon chain length (C8, C10, and C12). Finally 12-ADA and 1,12-diol were purified with isolated yields of 66.5% and 52.5%, respectively. The multi-enzymatic cascade reactions reported herein present an elegant ‘greener’ alternative for the biosynthesis of various biopolymer monomers from renewable saturated fatty acids.

In contrast to their symmetrical analogues, nonsymmetrical PNP-type ligand motifs have been less investigated despite the modular pincer structure. However, the introduction of mixed phosphorus donor moieties provides access to a larger variety of PNP ligands. Herein, a facile solid-phase synthesis approach towards a diverse PNP-pincer ligand library of 14 members is reported. Contrary to often challenging workup procedures in solution-phase, only simple workup steps are required. The corresponding supported ruthenium-PNP catalysts are screened in ester hydrogenation. Usually, industrially applied heterogeneous catalysts require harsh conditions in this reaction (250–350 °C at 100–200 bar) often leading to reduced selectivities. Heterogenized reusable Ru-PNP catalysts are capable of reducing esters and lactones selectively under mild conditions.

Herein, a novel approach is reported for the synthesis of medium- and long-chain aliphatic polyethers 2 based on the GaBr3-catalysed reduction of polyesters 1 with TMDS as the reducing agent. Thus, various linear and branched aliphatic polyesters 1 were prepared and systematically investigated for this reduction strategy, demonstrating the applicability and versatility of this new polyether synthesis protocol. Medium- and long-chain chain polyethers were obtained from the respective polyesters without or with minor chain degradation, whereas short-chain polyesters, such as poly-l-lactide 1 i and poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutanoate] 1 j, showed major chain degradation. In this way, previously unavailable and uncommon polyethers were obtained and studied.
