Accelerating Biphasic Biocatalysis through New Process Windows

Process intensification through continuous flow reactions has increased the production rates of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Catalytic reactions are accelerated through an unconventional and unprecedented use of a high-performance liquid/liquid counter current chromatography system. Product generation is significantly faster than in traditional batch reactors or in segmented flow systems, which is exemplified through stereoselective phase-transfer catalyzed reactions. This methodology also enables the intensification of biocatalysis as demonstrated in high yield esterifications and in the sesquiterpene cyclase-catalyzed synthesis of sesquiterpenes from farnesyl diphosphate as high-value natural products with applications in medicine, agriculture and the fragrance industry. Product release in sesquiterpene synthases is rate limiting due to the hydrophobic nature of sesquiterpenes, but a biphasic system exposed to centrifugal forces allows for highly efficient reactions.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING FLUORINATED HYDROCARBON

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for industrially advantageously producing a fluorinated hydrocarbon. SOLUTION: The method for producing a fluorinated hydrocarbon represented by formula (3) comprises bringing a secondary or tertiary ether compound represented by formula (1) into contact with an acid fluoride represented by formula (2) in the presence of a compound having an N-X bond (X is a halogen atom selected from a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, and an iodine atom) in a halogenated hydrocarbon-based solvent. (R1 and R2 are each independently a C1-C3 alkyl group; R3 is H, a methyl group, or an ethyl group; R4 and R5 are each a methyl group or an ethyl group; and R1 and R2 may be bonded together to form a ring structure.)

Understanding ketone hydrodeoxygenation for the production of fuels and feedstocks from biomass

Although we can efficiently convert bioderived furans into linear alkanes, the most energy-intensive step in this approach is the hydrodeoxygenation of the intermediate polyketone. To fully understand this process, we have examined the hydrodeoxygenation of a model compound, 3-pentanone, which allows us to follow this process stepwise using Pd/C, H2 (200 psi), and La(OTf)3 in acetic acid to remove the oxygen atom at temperatures between 25 and 200 C. We have found that ketone reduction to an alcohol is followed by acetoxylation, which provides a more facile route to C-O bond cleavage relative to the parent alcohol. (Chemical Presented).
