Xylella fastidiosa esterase rather than hydroxynitrile lyase

In 2009, we reported that the product of the gene SCJ21.16 (XFa0032) from Xylella fastidiosa, a xylem-restricted plant pathogen that causes a range of diseases in several important crops, encodes a protein (XfHNL) with putative hydroxynitrile lyase activi

Parallel kinetic resolution of 1-phenylethanol using quasi-enantiomeric active esters

The parallel kinetic resolution of racemic 1-phenylethanol using an equimolar combination of quasi-enantiomeric pentafluorophenyl esters is discussed. The levels of diastereoselectivity were excellent (>88% de) leading to separable quasi-enantiomeric esters in good yields. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

Kinetics and mechanism of styrene hydrocarboalkoxylation catalyzed by Pd° complex in the presence of toluenesulfonic acid

The kinetics of the catalytic reaction of styrene with CO and n-butanol in the Pd(dba)2 - TsOH - Ph3P system in dioxane (383 K) was studied. The initial rates of accumulation of regioisomeric products (butyl 2-and 3-phenylpropionates) were measured as functions of the CO pressure, reactant concentrations, and the catalytic system components. A kinetic model of the process and a hydride mechanism with the HPd(Ph3P)3+ cationic complex acting as a key intermediate were proposed.
