Chiral Phosphoric Acid Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrolysis of Biaryl Oxazepines for the Synthesis of Axially Chiral Biaryl Amino Phenol Derivatives

The development of catalytic asymmetric reaction with water as the reactant is challenging due to the reactivity- and stereoselectivity-control issues resulted from the low nucleophilicity and the small size of water. We disclose herein a chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyzed atroposelective ring-opening reaction of biaryl oxazepines with water. A series of biaryl oxazepines undergo the CPA catalyzed asymmetric hydrolysis in a highly enantioselective manner. The key for the success of this reaction is the use of a new SPINOL-derived CPA catalyst and the high reactivity of biaryl oxazepine substrates towards water under acidic conditions. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the reaction proceeds via a dynamic kinetic resolution pathway and the CPA catalyzed addition of water to the imine group is both enantio- and rate-determining.

Carbodiimide additive to control hydrolytic stability and biodegradability of PLA

Enhanced durability of bio-based polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the prerequisites to be a considered as alternative to petroleum-based polymers in long time application. The effect of bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)carbodiimide (BDICDI) additive in various concentration on the extent of hydrolytic stabilization and subsequent degradation kinetics of PLA was studied in the process of abiotic hydrolysis and microbial decomposition under composting conditions. The study showed that BDICDI acts as an efficient stabilizer suppressing the hydrolytic scission of ester bonds of PLA in both degradation processes tested, especially at concentrations above 1.5% w/w. Within the stabilization period which strongly depends on concentrations of BDICDI, suppression of hydrolytic degradation also triggered preservation of thermal and mechanical properties. After the period of stabilization as the dose of stabilizer is depleted, probably via reaction with water molecules and carboxylic groups, the material was hydrolyzed at a comparable or even slightly higher rate than pure PLA. By applying the appropriate amount of BDICDI, the approximate duration of stabilization could be set to suit the desired requirements of the final product.     

The effect of the migrating group structure on enantioselectivity in lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of 1-phenylethanol

We have studied the effects of the acyl moiety on the enantioselectivity of three lipases: Candida antarctica B, Pseudomonas cepacia and Candida cylindracea, frequently used in kinetic resolutions by acylation or hydrolysis. The size of the acyl group was examined using various enol esters during the transesterification of 1-phenylethanol and the hydrolysis of the corresponding phenylethylesters. C. antarctica-B lipase showed the highest selectivity in the transesterification of 1-phenylethanol with isopropenyl and vinyl acetate, vinyl decanoate, vinyl laurate, (E > 200). The esters 1-phenyl -ethyl-acetate, decanoate and laurate are also hydrolyzed with high selectivities (E > 150) with CAL-B. The results can be correlated to the three-dimensional form of each lipase. The effect of the migrating group on the reactivity and selectivity of the lipases are discussed for both reactions.     

Ultrasound assisted enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis of waste cooking oil under solvent free condition

The present work demonstrates the hydrolysis of waste cooking oil (WCO) under solvent free condition using commercial available immobilized lipase (Novozyme 435) under the influence of ultrasound irradiation. The process parameters were optimized using a sequence of experimental protocol to evaluate the effects of temperature, molar ratios of substrates, enzyme loading, duty cycle and ultrasound intensity. It has been observed that ultrasound-assisted lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of WCO would be a promising alternative for conventional methods. A maximum conversion of 75.19% was obtained at mild operating parameters: molar ratio of oil to water (buffer pH 7) 3:1, catalyst loading of 1.25% (w/w), lower ultrasound power 100 W (ultrasound intensity – 7356.68 W m⁻²), duty cycle 50% and temperature (50 °C) in a relatively short reaction time (2 h). The activation energy and thermodynamic study shows that the hydrolysis reaction is more feasible when ultrasound is combined with mechanical agitation as compared with the ultrasound alone and simple conventional stirring technique. Application of ultrasound considerably reduced the reaction time as compared to conventional reaction. The successive use of the catalyst for repetitive cycles under the optimum experimental conditions resulted in a loss of enzymatic activity and also minimized the product conversion.     

Isolation and identification of inulooligosaccharides resulting from inulin hydrolysis

In this study, inulooligosaccharides (F_n-type inulin) resulting from the endo-inulinase hydrolysis of globe artichoke inulin were purified and characterized. The aim was to produce F_n oligomer standards with the intention of identifying them in the complex inulin chromatogram. Inulin was extracted from globe artichoke and presented a high average degree of polymerization (DP) of about 80 as determined by high-performance anion exchange chromatography coupled with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD). This inulin was hydrolyzed by a commercial endo-inulinase yielding a product with a very high F_n/GF_n molecule ratio, thus limiting the interference of GF_n during the purification process. High-performance size exclusion chromatography was used to individually isolate and collect each retention peak corresponding to a specific oligomer. The purity of these fractions was checked by HPAEC-PAD and showed that relatively pure molecules were produced. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry allowed the molecular weight determination of these purified oligomers and ascertained their DP as F₂, F₃ and F₄. These F_2-4 standards were used with glucose, fructose, sucrose and GF_2-4 (commercially available) to spike commercial oligofructose products in order to determine the elution profile in the HPAEC-PAD chromatogram.     

Products of hydrolysis of (ferrocenylmethyl)trimethylammonium iodide: Synthesis of hydroxymethylferrocene and bis(ferrocenylmethyl) ether

The attempted coupling of (ferrocenylmethyl)trimethylammonium iodide (1) with 1,4,7-(triformyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (2) in water led to the formation of the expected compound 1-(ferrocenemethyl)-4,7,10-(triformyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (3). In addition, hydrolysis of the ferrocenyl precursor 1 led to the formation of two other known compounds, hydroxymethylferrocene (4) and bis(ferrocenylmethyl) ether (5). An X-ray crystal structure determination of 4 revealed the presence of H-bonding between the hydroxyl groups of one molecule of 4 and the oxygen atom of an adjacent molecule resulting in a left-handed helical chain of molecules lying along the b-axis direction. The O?O distances are significantly shorter than those found in previously reported structures of hydroxymethylferrocene derivatives indicative of moderate strength H-bonding interactions. In the structure of 5, the orientation of the ferrocenyl groups are staggered relative to a vector comprising the two carbons of the C-O-C linker.     

Enhancement of catalytic activity by increasing surface area in heterogeneous catalysis

The use of nanoclusters in systems with confined void spaces such as inside mesoporous or microporous solids appears to be an efficient way of preventing aggregation of nanoclusters in their catalytic application. Zeolite-Y is considered as a suitable host providing highly ordered supercages with a diameter of 1.3 nm. Intrazeolite metal(0) nanoclusters were prepared at room temperature by ion-exchange of metal cations with the extra framework Na⁺ ions in Zeolite-Y, followed by the reduction of the metal cations in the cavities of Zeolite-Y with sodium borohydride in aqueous solution, whereby the Zeolite-Y is reloaded with Na⁺ ions. Hence, host framework remains intact as shown by using a multi-prong approach. Intrazeolite transition-metal(0) nanoclusters were isolated by suction filtration and drying in vacuum at room temperature and characterized by a combination of analytical methods. Intrazeolite metal(0) nanoclusters were tested as catalyst in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride and ammonia-borane, both of which have been considered as a promising hydrogen storage materials. High catalytic activity and the outstandingly long lifetime of intrazeolite transition-metal(0) nanoclusters catalyst in the hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of both sodium borohydride and ammonia-borane is demonstrated. The results are attributed to the small size of the nanoclusters within the zeolite cages as well as prevention of agglomeration of the nanoclusters.
