The conversion of biomass to a high value-added product 1, 4-butanediol (BDO) and its derivatives is of great economic significance. In this work, furancarboxylic acid (FCA) was adopted as the raw material to prepare BDO. The one-pot synthesis of 1, 4-butanediol diacetate (BDA) has been successfully prepared from FCA with metal triflates and Pd/C catalysts. The effect of reaction conditions was investigated and the reaction routes was systematically studied by 1H-NMR and GC. The tandem catalytic process from FCA to BDA mainly underwent three stages. Firstly, FCA was hydrogenated to tetrahydrofurfuric acid (THFCA) by Pd/C. Afterwards, THFCA was decarbonylated to form oxonium ions with metal triflates. Then the oxonium ions was rapidly hydrogenated to form tetrahydrofuran (THF) by Pd/C. Ultimately, THF was ring-opening esterified to BDA by metal triflates. This novel synthesis method of BDO from FCA provides a promising protocol for broadening the application of common biomass substrates.

An environmental friendly process to selectively acetylate primary alcohols was demonstrated. The esterification process consists of treatment of a primary alcohol in the presence of immobilized C. antarctica lipase (Novozyme-435) in ethyl acetate at room temperature. Primary alcohols were acetylated in the presence of secondary alcohols and phenols.

The use of readily available ethyl acetate in the presence of iodine as an alternative acetylating agent is reported. Amines and phenols were unreactive under the examined reaction conditions, indicating that the method is highly chemoselective.

The acylation and transesterification of alcohols with vinyl acetate and carboxylic esters were investigated in the presence of a catalytic amount (1-10 mol %) of dilithium tetra-tert-butylzincate (TBZL) as a catalyst. The acylation proceeded quantitatively at 0 °C within 1 h. The transesterification occurred for a wide range of combinations of esters and alcohols at 0 to -40 °C. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first successful transesterification at such low temperatures. The time-conversion plots for the transesterification show that the reaction reached equilibrium within 5 min at 0 °C. The reaction proceeded quantitatively by addition of molecular sieves 4A. In addition, the transesterification proceeded even in the presence of H2O and amines.

This paper reports a facile synthesis of magnetically separable iron oxide (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles using thermolysis method. The structural and morphological study of the synthesized γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission gun-scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The electron microscopy reveals that the γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles have spherical morphology with a particle size in the range of 40-100 nm. The XPS study confirmed the Fe is in +3 oxidation state. The synthesized γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles have been used as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the organic transformation between phenols, alcohols, and amines with acetic anhydride under sonication using mild reaction conditions. Various electrons withdrawing and electrons donating substrates show an excellent yield of desired products with the advantage of magnetic separation and reusability of γ-Fe2O3 nanocatalyst.

Task-specific room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) composed of symmetrical N-methylimidazolium rings linked with a short oligo (ethylene glycol) chain (cationic part) and bis-trifluoromethane sulfonimide (NTf2, anionic part) were successfully synthesized, and their physicochemical properties were determined by various modern analytical techniques. The catalytic activity of the synthesized RTILs was evaluated in the esterification reaction of acids with alkyl halides in solvent-free conditions at room temperature. From the screening test, all the synthesized RTILs showed a high yield with significant selectivity for respective esters in a very short reaction time. Especially, 0.1 equimolar of RTIL-1 ([tetraEG(mim)2][NTf2]2) was found to be, the most efficient and reusable catalyst for this reaction. As a result, 100% conversion and up to a 94% yield of the respective ester product was obtained in a 30 min reaction time. This might be due to their synergetic effect of Lewis acidity, wide liquid range, and high miscibility compared to the other homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. Beside this, RTIL was easily separated from the reaction mixture and reused several times without any significant loss of catalytic activity and structural property. The present dicationic ionic liquids (ILs) under a solvent-free catalytic system were found to be kinetically fast, naturally benign, and achieved good yields for esterification of carboxylic acids with alkyl halides.

Conformational characteristics and configurational properties of synthetic biodegradable polyesters, poly(ethylene succinate) and poly(butylene succinate), have been investigated by NMR experiments and molecular orbital calculations on their model compounds and the rotational isomeric state calculations for the two aliphatic polyesters. The results have been related to their crystal structures and thermal properties and compared with those obtained previously for poly((R)-3-hydroxybutyrate) and poly(lactic acid) to elucidate structureeproperty relationships of the representative biodegradable polyesters. In addition, selective affinities to degradative enzymes of the four polyesters have been satisfactorily explained in terms of their conformational characteristics and interactions with the depolymerases.

A practical lanthanide(III)-catalyzed transesterification of carboxylic esters, weakly reactive carbonates, and much less-reactive ethyl silicate with primary and secondary alcohols was developed. Heterobimetallic dinuclear lanthanide alkoxide complexes [Ln2Na8{(OCH2CH2NMe2)}12(OH)2] (Ln = Nd (I), Sm (II), and Yb (III)) were used as highly active catalysts for this reaction. The mild reaction conditions enabled the transesterification of various substrates to proceed in good to high yield. Efficient activation of transesterification may be endowed by the above complexes as cooperative acid-base difunctional catalysts, which is proposed to be responsible for the higher reactivity in comparison with simple acid/base catalysts.
