The use of methanol as both a renewable solvent and catalyst and K2CO3 as a safe inorganic base improved the reaction significantly with regards to yield, purification, and green aspects. LGO-Cyrene™ was then subjected to a one-pot, H2O2-mediated Baeyer–Villiger oxidation/rearrangement followed by an acidic hydrolysis to produce a new sterically hindered bicyclic monomer, 2H-HBO-HBO. This diol was further polymerized in bulk with diacyl chlorides to access new promising renewable polyesters that exhibit glass transition temperatures (Tg) from -1 to 81 °C and a good thermostability with a temperature at which 50% of the mass is lost (Td50%) of 349–406 °C. Keywords: biomass, dimerization, oxidation, polymers, synthesis design Background The urgent need of sustainable and safe alternatives to replace depleting fossil1 resources and solve environmental issues such as the “Plastic Continents” in the Pacific Ocean2 and the severe changes caused by Anthropocene’s3 polluting gas has driven investigations and creations of bio-synthon databases4 to substitute the current petroleum-based molecules. The production of the well-known lactic acid from sugar fermentation is a good example of white biotechnology applied to biomass for the production of bio-based monomers. The corresponding material, poly(lactic acid) (PLA), has been commercialized for years and is largely used as the main material for cold beverage cups. Moreover, PLA’s low glass transition temperature (Tg of 55 °C) compared to other commodity plastics, such as poly(ethylene terephthalate), prohibits its utilization at high temperature. Still, PLA remains a good alternative for moderate temperature applications. Scheme 2-1. Examples of bio-based synthons Scheme 2-2. Transformation of Cellulose into CyreneTM A few other examples of bio-based molecules used as building blocks in Polymer Science have been described in the literature, including itaconic acid,4 succinic acid,4 angelica lactone,5 levulinic acid, a precursor to methylene-γ-valerolactone,6,7 and levoglucosenone (LGO),8,9 a promising α,β-unsaturated cyclic ketone (Scheme 2-1). The high potential of LGO as both a building block and a precursor of CyreneTM, a green aprotic polar solvent, has caught the attention of a few research groups and companies. In 2008 Circa developed the FuracellTM technology,10 a scalable process that allows LGO production from cellulose-based feedstocks, such as bagasse and sawdust, and its subsequent hydrogenation to produce CyreneTM (Scheme 2-2).11 Apart from a few works such as the reduction of the ketone moiety of Cyrene™ and its subsequent acrylation proposed by Saito and co-workers12 to form the corresponding acrylate and polyacrylate, the use of LGO and CyreneTM in material Scheme 2-3. Synthesis of poly(M-THP-2H-HBO) from 2H-HBO Scheme 2-4. Green synthesis of HBO from LGO science appears limited. Recently, we reported the synthesis of renewable acrylate monomers with (S)-γ-hydroxymethyl-α,β-butenolide (HBO), a bio-based molecule derived from LGO, to produce high-Tg biobased polymers with post-polymerization possibilities (Scheme 2-3).13 Over the last decades, several processes involving either chemical14,15 or chemo-enzymatic16 conditions have been proposed to synthetize HBO from LGO through Baeyer-Villiger oxidations. For example, in 201817 we reported the organic solvent-free oxidation of LGO into HBO with 30% aqueous H2O2 without the presence of any catalyst (Scheme 2-4). Besides its interest as a precursor for the synthesis of such a bio-based acrylate, HBO could also be transformed into an AB- or AA’-type monomer if another alcohol or acid function could be added to its structure. Scheme 2-5. Oligomerization of LGO by Stevenson and co-workers18 In 1982, Stevenson and co-workers18 reported the formation of LGO-CyreneTM in 8% yield when LGO was heated at 80-85 °C in the presence of triethylamine (Scheme 2- 5). In 1995, Peters and coworkers19 described the self-condensation of LGO as a side reaction whenever LGO was highly concentrated in the presence of a base and the dimer LGO-CyreneTM was isolated in 32% yield. To the best of our knowledge, no further optimizations or chemical transformations were carried out to take advantage of this promising molecule that offers a great playground for chemists due to its two ketone moieties. Building on our experience with LGO upgrading through sustainable synthetic processes,16,17,20,21,22 we decided to investigate the implementation of the aforementioned Baeyer-Villiger-based strategy17 to LGO-CyreneTM to access the corresponding 2HHBO- HBO as a new bio-based AA’-type diol monomer with the aim to produce renewable polyesters with the HBO motif (Scheme 2-6). Scheme 2-6. Syntehsis of 2H-HBO-HBO polyesters from LGO Experimental Chemicals and regeants Levoglucosenone was graciously provided by the Circa Group. Potassium carbonate 99% (Acros), hydrogen peroxide 30% (Fischer), diethyl succinate 98% (Alpha Aesar), malonyl chloride 97% (Sigma Aldrich), succinyl chloride 95% (Sigma Aldrich), adipoyl chloride 98% (Sigma Aldrich), glutaryl chloride 97% (Sigma Aldrich), terephthaloyl chloride >99% flakes (Sigma Aldrich) were used without further purification unless mentioned. NMR solvents including deuterated chloroform, deuterated methanol, and deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide were purchased from Cambridge Isotopes Laboratories. Characterization Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy 1 H NMR spectra of samples were recorded at 300 MHz (CDCl3, CD3OD, DMSO-d6 and 13 Acetone-d6 residual signal at 7.26, 3.31, 2.50 and 2.05 ppm respectively). C NMR spectra of samples were recorded at 75 MHz (CDCl3, CD3OD, DMSO-d6 and Acetone-d6 residual signal at 77.2, 49.0, 39.5 and 29.8, respectively). Chemical shifts are reported in parts per million (ppm). Coupling constants (J) are reported in Hertz (Hz). Multiplicities are reported using the following abbreviations: s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; q, quartet; m, multiplet; br, broad. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) TGA was performed under nitrogen with a TGA Q500 from TA Instruments. About 1-5 mg of each sample was equilibrated at 50 °C for 30 min. Then, the samples were heated at 10 °C/min from 50 °C to 500 °C. The reported values (Td5% and Td50%) represent the temperature at which 5% and 50% of the mass is lost, respectively. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) DSC thermograms were obtained with a DSC Q20 from TA Instruments. Typically, 5-10 mg of sample were weighed and charged into a sealed pan that passed through a heat- coolheat cycle at 10 °C/min. The temperature ranged from -80 °C to 100 °C. Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) GPC was performed at 60 °C using an Agilent Technologies 1260 Infinity Series liquid chromatography system with an internal differential refractive index detector, a viscometer detector, a laser, UV lamp and two PLgel columns (5μm MIXED-D 300x7.5mm) using 10mM Lithium Bromide (LiBr) in HPLC grade dimethylformamide (DMF) as the mobile phase at a flow of 1.0 mL/min. Calibration was performed with narrow dispersity Polystyrene Standards (Mw: 620, 1,320, 2,930, 4,730, 10,190, 19,650, 29,870, 75,000, 123,700 and 278,700 g.mol-1). The samples were prepared by solubilizing around 5 mg of material in 1 mL of the aforementioned solvent. Monomer synthesis Synthesis of (1S,1'S,2R,5R,5'R)-6,6',8,8'-tetraoxa[2,3'- bi(bicyclo[3.2.1]octan)]-2'-ene-4,4'-dione (LGO-Cyrene™) LGO (2.59 g, 2 mL, 20.5 mmol) was solubilized in methanol (2.2 mL) and 45 mg (0.3 mmol) of K2CO3 were added. The solution was stirred at room temperature until the precipitate hinders the stirring. The reaction was filtered to obtain an orange solid that could be engaged in the next step without further purification (2.56 g, 99% yield). 1 H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz): δH 2.17 (d, 1H, J = 17.0 Hz, H12), 3.09 (dd, 1H, J = 8.6 and 17.0 Hz, H12’), 3.38 (m, 1H, H7), 3.75 (m, 2H, H3 & H9), 3.90 (m, 1 H, H9’), 4.27 (m, 1H, H3’), 4.52 (m, 1H, H8), 5.10(s, 1H, H10), 5.27 (t, 1H, J = 4.5 Hz, H4), 5.45 (s, 1H, H2), 13 7.12 (dd, 1H, J = 1.2 & 5.0 Hz, H5).

Broader context This article describes the sustainable conversion of cellulose to levoglucosenone (LGO) using mild reaction conditions in the liquid phase. LGO is an attractive, biomass-derived platform molecule that can be used for the renewable production of pharmaceuticals, commodity chemicals such as 1,6-hexanediol (HDO), and green solvents such as dihydrolevoglucosenone. The co-production of such high-value species has the potential to significantly improve the overall economic feasibility of a biorefinery. Notably, dihydrolevoglucosenone, also known as Cyrenes, is a polar, aprotic solvent with properties similar to N- methylpyrrolidone and sulfolane, both of which are traditionally obtained from fossil-based resources.

MakInG sTrIDes In Genome EDITInG: THe DIGITaL, CHemIcaL, anD BIoLogIcaL Dear Fellow Researchers: You may not know that MilliporeSigma can make DNA from scratch, using 100% synthetic chemical methods—no living cells and no fermentation necessary. Our DNA synthesis facilities in The Woodlands (Texas) and Haverhill (U.K.) receive thousands of DNA orders daily from scientists all over the world. A small piece of DNA, one hundred bases long, gives scientists 4100 possibilities using only the fundamental letters of our genetic code (A,C,G,T). Included within these options is the opportunity for a researcher to open a common text editor on his or her PC and design a 100-base piece of DNA. This piece of DNA could help study diseases ranging from sickle cell anemia and blindness to cystic fibrosis by using CRISPR. To get started, scientists cut this 100-base DNA text from the text editor and paste it into MilliporeSigma’s online ordering system. The corresponding DNA piece that likely has never existed before is then delivered to them in 24–48 hours. Once received, this piece of DNA is mixed with CRISPR and living cells, and, with a “blast” of electricity, these synthetic chemical pieces activate the cell to edit the genome.

  • The Decomposition Kinetics of Peracetic Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide in Municipal Wastewaters
    Disinfection Forum No 10, October 2015 The Decomposition Kinetics of Peracetic Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide in Municipal Wastewaters INTRODUCTION Efficient control of microbial populations in municipal wastewater using peracetic acid (PAA) requires an understanding of the PAA decomposition kinetics. This knowledge is critical to ensure the proper dosing of PAA needed to achieve an adequate concentration within the contact time of the disinfection chamber. In addition, the impact of PAA on the environment, post-discharge into the receiving water body, also is dependent upon the longevity of the PAA in the environment, before decomposing to acetic acid, oxygen and water. As a result, the decomposition kinetics of PAA may have a significant impact on aquatic and environmental toxicity. PAA is not manufactured as a pure compound. The solution exists as an equilibrium mixture of PAA, hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid, and water: ↔ + + Acetic Acid Hydrogen Peroxide Peracetic Acid Water PeroxyChem’s VigorOx® WWT II Wastewater Disinfection Technology contains 15% peracetic acid by weight and 23% hydrogen peroxide as delivered. Although hydrogen peroxide is present in the formulation, peracetic acid is considered to be the active component for disinfection1 in wastewater. There have been several published studies investigating the decomposition kinetics of PAA in different water matrices, including municipal wastewater2-7. Yuan7 states that PAA may be consumed in the following three competitive reactions: 1. Spontaneous decomposition 2 CH3CO3H à 2 CH3CO2H + O2 Eq (1) 2. Hydrolysis CH3CO3H + H2O à CH3CO2H + H2O2 Eq (2) 3. Transition metal catalyzed decomposition + CH3CO3H + M à CH3CO2H + O2 + other products Eq (3) At neutral pH’s, both peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide can be rapidly consumed by these reactions7 (hydrogen peroxide will decompose to water and oxygen via 2H2O2 à 2H2O + O2).

  • Bio-Solvents: Synthesis, Industrial Production and Applications Novisi K
    Chapter Bio-Solvents: Synthesis, Industrial Production and Applications Novisi K. Oklu, Leah C. Matsinha and Banothile C.E. Makhubela Abstract Solvents are at the heart of many research and industrial chemical processes and consumer product formulations, yet an overwhelming number are derived from fossils. This is despite societal and legislative push that more products be produced from carbon-neutral resources, so as to reduce our carbon footprint and environmental impact. Biomass is a promising renewable alternative resource for producing bio-solvents, and this review focuses on their extraction and synthesis on a laboratory and large scale. Starch, lignocellulose, plant oils, animal fats and proteins have been combined with creative synthetic pathways, novel technolo- gies and processes to afford known or new bio-derived solvents including acids, alkanes, aromatics, ionic liquids (ILs), furans, esters, ethers, liquid polymers and deep eutectic solvents (DESs)—all with unique physiochemical properties that warrant their use as solvation agents in manufacturing, pharmaceutical, cosmet- ics, chemicals, energy, food and beverage industries, etc. Selected bio-solvents, conversion technologies and processes operating at commercial and demonstration scale including (1) Solvay’s Augeo™ SL 191 renewable solvent, (2) Circa Group’s Furacell™ technology and process for making levoglucosenone (LGO) to produce dihydrolevoglucosenone (marketed as Cyrene™), (3) Sappi’s Xylex® technology and demonstration scale processes that aim to manufacture precursors for bio- solvents and (4) Anellotech’s Bio-TCat™ technology and process for producing benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTX) are highlighted. Keywords: bio-solvents, renewable resources, green chemistry, biorefinery, biomass 1.

  • The Use of Peracetic Acid As a “Pre-Oxidant” for Drinking Water Applications
    Disinfection Forum No. 18, September 2017 The Use of Peracetic Acid as a “Pre-Oxidant” for Drinking Water Applications BACKGROUND Chlorination as a technology for drinking water disinfection has significantly reduced the incidence of human disease and is one of the most significant contributions to the improvement of human health over the past century. Chlorine’s ability to provide a stable residual concentration makes it suitable as a drinking water disinfectant at the point of use. However, natural organic matter in the raw water being treated and disinfected at the drinking water treatment plant may interact with the residual chlorine to form compounds classified as disinfection by-products (DBPs). The most commonly employed disinfectants are chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone – each of which can generate a variety of DBPs. Many DBPs have been identified as potential cancer-causing agents, and include trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs). Examples of THMS and HAAs include: chloroform, dibromochloromethane, bromoform, trichloracetic acid, monchloracetic acid and monobromoacetic acid. Peracetic acid (PAA) has gained momentum in the United States as a primary wastewater disinfection technology and alternative to chlorine. PAA has low residual toxicity, does not form harmful DBPs and has minimal impact on the environment. While the lack of a stable residual reduces its environmental impact post wastewater treatment, this characteristic decreases its values as a terminal drinking water disinfection technology – PAA residual at the point of use would be impractical to maintain. However, PAA may potentially be used in a disinfection treatment train approach as an early stage disinfection chemistry coupled with other methods such as membrane filtration, ozone and UV.
