Synthesis,spectroscopic, DFT,biological studies and molecular docking of oxovanadium (IV), copper (II) and iron (III) complexes of a new hydrazone derived from heterocyclic hydrazide

A new Schiff base hydrazone (Z)‐2‐(2‐aminothiazol‐4‐yl)‐N′‐(2‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxybenzylidene) acetohydrazide (H₂L) and its chelates [VO (HL)₂]·5H₂O, [Cu (HL)Cl(H₂O)]·2H₂O and [Fe(L)Cl(H₂O)₂]·3H₂O have been isolated and characterized using different physico‐chemical methods, for example infrared (IR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), thermogravimetric analysis and DTG in the solid state, and ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR and UV in solution. Magnetic and UV–visible measurements proposed that the coordination environments are square pyramidal, tetrahedral and octahedral geometries for oxovanadium (IV), Cu (II) and Fe (III), respectively. The ligand acts as mono‐negative NO towards oxovanadium (IV) and Cu (II) ions, and bi‐negative ONO for Fe (III) ion. The geometries of the ligand and its complexes were performed using Gaussian 9 program with density functional theory. The EPR spectral data of oxovanadium (IV) and Cu (II) chelates confirmed the mentioned geometries. The molecular modeling was done, and illustrated bond lengths, bond angles, molecular electrostatic potential, Mulliken atomic charges and chemical reactivity for the inspected compounds. Theoretical IR and ¹H‐NMR of the free ligand were calculated. Furthermore, thermodynamic and kinetic parameters for thermal decomposition steps were studied. Docking study of H₂L was applied against the proteins of both bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, as well as the protein of xanthine oxidase as antioxidant agent by Schrödinger suite program utilizing XP glide protocol. Furthermore, antimicrobial, antioxidant and DNA‐binding activities of the compounds have been carried out.

From Lignin‐derived Aromatic Compounds to Novel Biobased Polymers

Nowadays, the synthesis of (semi)aromatic polymers from lignin derivatives is of major interest, as aromatic compounds are key intermediates in the manufacture of polymers and lignin is the main source of aromatic biobased substrates. Phenols with a variety of chemical structures can be obtained from lignin deconstruction; among them, vanillin and ferulic acid are the main ones. Depending on the phenol substrates, different chemical modifications and polymerization pathways are developed, leading to (semi)aromatic polymers covering a wide range of thermomechanical properties. This review discusses the synthesis and properties of thermosets (vinyl ester resins, cyanate ester, epoxy, and benzoxazine resins) and thermoplastic polymers (polyesters, polyanhydrides, Schiff base polymers, polyacetals, polyoxalates, polycarbonates, acrylate polymers) prepared from vanillin, ferulic acid, guaiacol, syringaldehyde, or 4‐hydroxybenzoic acid.

     

Autonomously Propelled Motors for Value‐Added Product Synthesis and Purification

A proof‐of‐concept design for autonomous, self‐propelling motors towards value‐added product synthesis and separation is presented. The hybrid motor design consists of two distinct functional blocks. The first, a sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) granule, serves both as a reaction prerequisite for the reduction of vanillin and also as a localized solid‐state fuel in the reaction mixture. The second capping functional block consisting of a graphene–polymer composite serves as a hydrophobic matrix to attract the reaction product vanillyl alcohol (VA), resulting in facile separation of this edible value‐added product. These autonomously propelled motors were fabricated at a length scale down to 400 μm, and once introduced in the reaction environment showed rapid bubble‐propulsion followed by high‐purity separation of the reaction product (VA) by the virtue of the graphene–polymer cap acting as a mesoporous sponge. The concept has excellent potential towards the synthesis/isolation of industrially important compounds, affinity‐based product separation, pollutant remediation (such as heavy metal chelation/adsorption), as well as localized fuel‐gradients as an alternative to external fuel dependency.

Temperature‐Directed Biocatalysis for the Sustainable Production of Aromatic Aldehydes or Alcohols

The biosynthesis of aromatic aldehydes and alcohols from renewable resources is currently receiving considerable attention because of an increase in demand, finite fossil resources, and growing environmental concerns. Here, a temperature‐directed whole‐cell catalyst was developed by using two novel enzymes from a thermophilic actinomycete. Ferulic acid, a model lignin derivative, was efficiently converted into vanillyl alcohol at a reaction temperature at 30 °C. However, when the temperature was increased to 50 °C, ferulic acid was mainly converted into vanillin with a productivity of 1.1 g L^?1 h^?1. This is due to the fact that the redundant endogenous alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) are not active at this temperature while the functional enzymes from the thermophilic strain remain active. As the biocatalyst could convert many other renewable cinnamic acid derivatives into their corresponding aromatic aldehydes/alcohols, this novel strategy may be extended to generate a vast array of valuable aldehydes or alcohols.     

Bioconversion of isoeugenol into vanillin by crude enzyme extracted from soybean

Crude enzyme extracted from soybean was used to convert isoeugenol into vanillin. The effects of several factors on the bioconversion were studied. Conversion was affected by the armount of substrate and was also improved by the addition of absorbents, among which powdered activated carbon was the best. The effect of H₂O₂ concentration on the conversion was also studied. The optimum concentration of H₂O₂ was 1% (v/v). With 10 g/L of powdered activated carbon and 0.1% H₂O₂ added, vanillin reached a maximum concentration of 2.46 g/L after 36 h, corresponding to a molar yield of 13.3%.
