When enzymatic reactions are combined to continuous- flow methodologies, other benefits are added, including reproducibility, optimized energy use, minimized waste generation, among others. In this context, we herein report a case study involving lipase-mediated transesterification by acylation and deacylation reactions of secondary alcohols/esters in batch and continuous-flow modes. 1 Introduction Acylation reactions were performed with high values of Enzymatic kinetic resolution (EKR) is a well-established enantiomeric excess (72 up to >99%) and enantioselectivity approach in the preparation of optically active compounds.

On Nowadays, enzyme-mediated transformations, such as the other hand, for deacylation reactions using n-butanol EKR by lipases, are present in the toolbox of synthetic as nucleophile, enatiomeric excess ranged between 38 to chemists [1,2]. Enzymes are exceptional catalysts >99% and E from 6 to >200 were observed for batch mode. presenting enormous stereoselectivity for a number of For deacylation reactions in continuous-flow mode, natural and non-natural substrates, which allows the results were disappointing, as in some cases, very low or synthesis of valuable chiral intermediates, building- no conversion was observed. Enantiomeric excess ranged blocks and products with high enantiopurity. Currently, from 16 to >99% and enantioselectivity from 5 to >200 were there is an upward trend in the use and performance observed. In terms of productivity, continuous-flow mode of biocatalytic transformations in continuous-flow reactions were superior in both strategies (acylation: r mode [3].

Read Full License Page 1/20 Abstract The cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) are one of the technologies that quickly immobilize the enzyme without a carrier. This carrier-free immobilization method has the advantages of simple operation, high reusability and low cost. In this study, ionic liquid with amino group (1-aminopropyl-3- methylimidazole bromideIL) was used as the novel functional surface molecule to modify industrialized lipase (Candida rugosa lipase, CRL). The enzymatic properties of the prepared CRL-FIL-CLEAs were investigated. The activity of CRL-FIL-CLEAs (5.51 U/mg protein) was 1.9 times higher than that of CRL- CLEAs without surface modication (2.86 U/mg protein). After incubation at 60℃ for 50 min, CRL-FIL- CLEAs still maintained 61% of its initial activity, while the value for CRL-CLEAs was only 22%. After repeated use for ve times, compared with the 22% residual activity of CRL-CLEAs, the value of CRL-FIL- CLEAs was 51%. Further kinetic analysis indicated that the Km values for CRL-FIL-CLEAs and CRL-CLEAs were 4.80 mM and 8.06 mM, respectively, which was inferred that the anity to substrate was increased after modication.

  • Separation of the Mixtures of Chiral Compounds by Crystallization
    1 Separation of the Mixtures of Chiral Compounds by Crystallization Emese Pálovics2, Ferenc Faigl1,2 and Elemér Fogassy1* 1Department of Organic Chemistry and Technology, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 2Research Group for Organic Chemical Technology, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary 1. Introduction Reaction of a racemic acid or base with an optically active base or acid gives a pair of diastereomeric salts. Members of this pair exhibit different physicochemical properties (e.g., solubility, melting point, boiling point, adsorbtion, phase distribution) and can be separated owing to these differences. The most important method for the separation of enantiomers is the crystallization. This is the subject of this chapter. Preparation of enantiopure (ee~100%) compounds is one of the most important aims both for industrial practice and research. Actually, the resolution of racemic compounds (1:1 mixture of molecules having mirror-imagine relationship) still remains the most common method for producing pure enantiomers on a large scale. In these cases the enantiomeric mixtures or a sort of their derivatives are separated directly. This separation is based on the fact that the enantiomeric ratio in the crystallized phase differs from the initial composition. In this way, obtaining pure enantiomers requires one or more recrystallizations. (Figure 1). The results of these crystallizations (recrystallizations) of mixtures of chiral compounds differ from those observed at the achiral compounds. Expectedly, not only the stereoisomer in excess can be crystallized, because the mixture of enantiomers (with mirror image relationship) follows the regularities established from binary melting point phase diagrams, and ternary composition solubility diagrams, respectively, as a function of the starting enantiomer proportion.

Skim latex from Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) consist of many useful proteins and enzymes that can be utilized to produce value added products for industrial purposes. Lipase recovered from skim latex serum was immobilized via cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEA) technology, while supported by magnetic nanoparticles for properties enhancement, termed ‘Magnetic Nanoparticles CLEA-lipase’ (MNP-CLEA-lipase). MNP-CLEA-lipase was prepared by chemical cross-linking of enzyme aggregates with amino functionalized magnetic nanoparticles. Instead of using glutaraldehyde as cross-linking agent, green, non-toxic and renewable macromolecular cross-linkers (dextran, chitosan, gum Arabic and pectin) were screened and the best alternative based on highest residual activity was chosen for further analysis.

Interaction of light and matter If light enters matter, its intensity (amplitude), polarization, velocity, wavelength, etc. may alter. The two basic phenomena of the interaction of light and matter are absorption (or extinction) and a decrease in velocity. 3 16.11.2010 Interaction of light and matter Absorption means that the intensity (amplitude) of light decreases in matter because matter absorbs a part of the light. (Intensity is the square of amplitude.) Interaction of light and matter The decrease in velocity (i.e. the slowdown) of light in matter is caused by the fact that all materials (even materials that do not absorb light at all) have a refraction index, which means that the velocity of light is smaller in them than in vacuum.

    324 SYNTHESIS OF OCTAHYDROBENZO - 1, 2,3 - DIAZAPHOSPHOLIDINE - 2 - OXIDES AND THEIR DERIVATIVES: APPLICATIONS IN ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS DOI: http://dx.medra.org/ 10.17374/targets.2020.23.324 Carlos Cruz - Hernández a , José M. Landeros a , Eusebio Juaristi * a,b a Departamento de Química, Centro de Investigación y de E studios Avanzados, Avenida IPN 2508, 07360 Ciudad de México, Mexico b El Colegio Nacional, Luis González Obregón 23, Centro Histórico, 06020 Ciudad de México, Mexico (e - mail: [email protected]; [email protected]) Abstract. This chapter outlines recent efforts devoted to the synthesis of heterocycles that include the octahydrobenzo - 1,3,2 - diazaphospholidine - 2 - oxide fragment, as well as their application in asymmetri c synthesis. The first part of this review provides a brief discussion of the general structural characteristics of this phosphorus - containing heterocyclic scaffold. The second part describes the synthetic paths that were undertaken to synthesize the desir ed heterocycles , as well as some relevant considerations pertaining the spectroscopic characterization of the phosphorus - containing heterocycles of interest . The third part provides several illustrative examples where the novel chiral heterocycles were employed in ena ntioselective synthesis. The new phosphorus - containing heterocycles proved useful : i) as chiral auxiliaries in nucleophilic addition reactions, as well as as imine activators in electrophilic addition reactions; ii ) as c hiral ligands i n nucleophilic allylation and crotonylation of prochiral aldehydes , and iii) as c hiral organocatalysts in enantioselective aldol, Michael, and cascade reactions.
