Formamide catalyzed activation of carboxylic acids-versatile and cost-efficient amidation and esterification

A novel, broadly applicable method for amide C-N and ester C-O bond formation is presented based on formylpyrrolidine (FPyr) as a Lewis base catalyst. Herein, trichlorotriazine (TCT), which is the most cost-efficient reagent for OH-group activation, was employed in amounts of ≤40 mol% with respect to the starting material (100 mol%). The new approach is distinguished by excellent cost-efficiency, waste-balance (E-factor down to 3) and scalability (up to >80 g). Moreover, high levels of functional group compatibility, which includes acid-labile acetals and silyl ethers, are demonstrated and even peptide C-N bonds can be formed. In comparison to reported amidation procedures using TCT, yields are considerably improved (for instance from 26 to 91%) and esterification is facilitated for the first time in synthetically useful yields. These significant enhancements are rationalized by activation by means of acid chlorides instead of less electrophilic acid anhydride intermediates.

Biochemical characterization of the PHARC-associated serine hydrolase ABHD12 reveals its preference for very-long-chain lipids

Polyneuropathy, hearing loss, ataxia, retinitis pigmentosa, and cataract (PHARC) is a rare genetic human neurological disorder caused by null mutations to the Abhd12 gene, which encodes the integral membrane serine hydrolase enzyme ABHD12. Although the role that ABHD12 plays in PHARC is understood, the thorough biochemical characterization of ABHD12 is lacking. Here, we report the facile synthesis of mono-1-(fatty)acyl-glycerol lipids of varying chain lengths and unsaturation and use this lipid substrate library to biochemically characterize recombinant mammalian ABHD12. The substrate profiling study for ABHD12 suggested that this enzyme requires glycosylation for optimal activity and that it has a strong preference for very-long-chain lipid substrates. We further validated this substrate profile against brain membrane lysates generated from WT and ABHD12 knockout mice. Finally, using cellular organelle fractionation and immunofluorescence assays, we show that mammalian ABHD12 is enriched on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, where most of the very-long-chain fatty acids are biosynthesized in cells. Taken together, our findings provide a biochemical explanation for why very-long-chain lipids (such as lysophosphatidylserine lipids) accumulate in the brains of ABHD12 knockout mice, which is a murine model of PHARC.

Synthesis of the fatty esters of solketal and glycerol-formal: Biobased specialty chemicals

The caprylic, lauric, palmitic and stearic esters of solketal and glycerol formal were synthesized with high selectivity and in good yields by a solvent-free acid catalyzed procedure. No acetal hydrolysis was observed, notwithstanding the acidic reaction conditions.

Improved synthesis of monopalmitin on a large scale by two enzymatic methods

Monoacylglycerols (MAG) are precursors for the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical triacylglycerols (TAG). In the present study, we improved two methods for synthesizing MAG. One method involved the enzymatic transesterification of vinyl palmitate with glycerol catalyzed by Novozym 435 lipase, and the other method was an enzymatic esterification of 1,2-acetonide glycerol with palmitic acid catalyzed by Novozym 435 lipase and then the cleavage of 1,2-acetonide-3-palmitoyl glycerol in methanol catalyzed by Amberlyst-15 to produce monopalmitin. Pure monopalmitin was obtained after repeated crystallization. The main novelties of this study are twofold: Novozym 435 proved to be very effective in catalyzing the transesterification between vinyl palmitate and glycerol without absorbing glycerol onto silica gel; and the enzyme catalyzed reaction between 1,2-acetonide glycerol and palmitic acid was simpler and safer than the typical method of using 4-dimethyl aminopyridine and N-ethyl-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride as catalysts. Our methods for the synthesis of monopalmitin are much simpler and environmentally friendlier than the reported methods, and they are economical and scalable to larger quantity production.

Pheromone synthesis. Part 253: Synthesis of the racemates and enantiomers of triglycerides of male Drosophila fruit flies with special emphasis on the preparation of enantiomerically pure 1-monoglycerides

The racemates and enantiomers of triglycerides 1aee (2,3-ditigloyloxypropyl esters of palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids) of male Drosophila fruit flies were synthesized in three steps from the racemate and enantiomers of 2,3-acetoneglycerol (2) via 1-monoglycerides 4aee derived from the above fatty acids. Appropriate conditions were established for the preparation of enantiomerically pure 1-monoglycerides 4aee, and their enantiomeric purities were determined by NMR analysis of the corresponding bis-(R)-MTPA esters.

Fatty acids residue from palm oil refining process as feedstock for lipase catalyzed monoacylglicerol production under batch and continuous flow conditions

Free fatty acids are used in many cases for the production of soaps, candles and assist processing of rubber products, but we believe that new process technology should be developed to produce products with higher added value. Monoacylglycerols (MAGs) are nonionic surfactant, highly hydrophobic and has been used as controlled release systems for drugs. The results presented here for the lipase-catalyzed MAG production show that both batch and continuous flow conditions can lead to the desired product in short reaction time and high yield (70-95%) but the use of packed bed reactors (PBR) shows higher efficiency when compared to batch reactors.

Evaluation of a glycerol derived biofuel by thermal analysis

This work describes thermal analysis evaluation of a glycerol derived compound (fatty acid esters of (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl) methanol) developed to work as a biofuel. Mixtures of these ketal-glyceryl esters with fatty acid methyl esters typical of soybean biodiesel were prepared and evaluated in relation to biodiesel critical thermal properties such as temperature of crystallization, thermal stability and volatilization measured by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The volatility of the products containing fatty acid methyl esters and (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl) methyl esters could be predicted by thermogravimetric analyses conducted in nitrogen that avoided time consuming distillation and greatly reduced material expenditure.

Preparation of diacid 1,3-diacylglycerols

A complete methodology (including synthesis, purification and analysis) for the preparation of 1,3-DAG is described. For a successful synthesis project, the strengths and weaknesses of each particular process should be taken into account and measures taken to offset or balance potential weaknesses. To this end, we describe some of the challenges associated with: chemically and enzymatically catalyzed acylglycerol syntheses; recrystallization and flash chromatography for purification of partial acylglycerols; and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) separation of DAG. For this work, 1-MAG intermediates and subsequent diacid 1,3-DAG were prepared using non-enzymatic methods, whereas, monoacid 1,3-DAG were prepared by enzymatic methods. It was not always possible to obtain pure samples of target compounds-in recrystallizations this is due to solid solution formation and co-crystallization and in chromatographic separations it is due to co-elution of components with similar Rf. Furthermore, TLC Rf of DAG is determined by two main factors: acyl chain length and positional isomerism. Interestingly, while the role of positional isomerism is well-known, the role of acyl chain length in these separations has only recently come to light.
