Synthetic polyester from algae oil

Current efforts to technically use microalgae focus on the generation of fuels with a molecular structure identical to crude oil based products. Here we suggest a different approach for the utilization of algae by translating the unique molecular structures of algae oil fatty acids into higher value chemical intermediates and materials. A crude extract from a microalga, the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, was obtained as a multicomponent mixture containing amongst others unsaturated fatty acid (16:1, 18:1, and 20:5) phosphocholine triglycerides. Exposure of this crude algae oil to CO and methanol with the known catalyst precursor [{1,2-(tBu2PCH2) 2C6H4}Pd(OTf)](OTf) resulted in isomerization/methoxycarbonylation of the unsaturated fatty acids into a mixture of linear 1,17- and 1,19-diesters in high purity (>99%). Polycondensation with a mixture of the corresponding diols yielded a novel mixed polyester-17/19.17/19 with an advantageously high melting and crystallization temperature. Algae as feedstock: Crude algae oil from the strain Phaeodactylum tricornutum was transformed into polycondensation-grade purity monomers and thus utilized as feedstock for the production of an algae oil based polyester.

In dimethylformamide or N-methylpyrrolidone the Ni-bipyridyl system catalyses the electrochemical reduction of functionalised or non-functionalised aliphatic halides. High yields of dimeric products are obtained besides primary mono- or di-bromides. Analysis of the reaction products shows the formation of dialkylnickel which can be isolated by coulometry. This species acts as a reducing agent for aliphatic halides.
