- Efficient Enzymatic Preparation of Flavor Esters in Water
-
A straightforward biocatalytic method for the enzymatic preparation of different flavor esters starting from primary alcohols (e.g., isoamyl, n-hexyl, geranyl, cinnamyl, 2-phenethyl, and benzyl alcohols) and naturally available ethyl esters (e.g., formate, acetate, propionate, and butyrate) was developed. The biotransformations are catalyzed by an acyltransferase from Mycobacterium smegmatis (MsAcT) and proceeded with excellent yields (80-97%) and short reaction times (30-120 min), even when high substrate concentrations (up to 0.5 M) were used. This enzymatic strategy represents an efficient alternative to the application of lipases in organic solvents and a significant improvement compared with already known methods in terms of reduced use of organic solvents, paving the way to sustainable and efficient preparation of natural flavoring agents.

- Deep eutectic solvent choline chloride·2CrCl3·6H2O: An efficient catalyst for esterification of formic and acetic acid at room temperature
-
A highly efficient and selective method for esterification of formic and acetic acid with alcohols has been achieved at room temperature, with the choline chloride (ChCl)/chromium(iii) chloride hexahydrate (CrCl3·6H2O) deep eutectic solvent as a catalyst. High yields and good selectivities of organic esters are obtained using DES [ChCl][CrCl3·6H2O]2 with the molar ratio 5:1 (carboxylic acids:alcohols) at room temperature in 24 h. The ease of recovery and reusability of DES with high catalytic activity makes this method efficient and practical.

- MONOMER, POLYMER, RESIST COMPOSITION, AND PATTERNING PROCESS
-
A polymer comprising recurring units derived from a (meth)acrylate monomer of tertiary ester type having branched alkyl on alicycle is used to form a resist composition. When subjected to exposure, PEB and organic solvent development, the resist composition is improved in dissolution contrast.

- Nickel-catalyzed hydrosilylation of CO2 in the Presence of Et3B for the synthesis of formic acid and related formates
-
The reaction of CO2 with Et3SiH catalyzed by the nickel complex [(dippe)Ni(μ-H)]2 (1) afforded the reduction products Et3SiOCH2OSiEt3 (12%), Et 3SiOCH3 (3%), and CO, which were characterized by standard spectroscopic methods. Part of the generated CO was found as the complex [(dippe)Ni(CO)]2 (2), which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. When the same reaction was carried out in the presence of a Lewis acid, such as Et3B, the hydrosilylation of CO2 efficiently proceeded to give the silyl formate (Et3SiOC(O)H) in high yields (85-89%), at 80 C for 1 h. Further reactivity of the silyl formate to yield formic acid, formamides, and alkyl formates was also investigated.

- Room-temperature selective aliphatic carbon-carbon bond activation and functionalization of ethers by rhodium(II) porphyrin
-
Selective aliphatic carbon(α)-carbon(β) bond activation of ethers by (5,10,15,20-tetramesitylporphyrinato)rhodium(II) (Rh(tmp) (1)) was achieved at room temperature to yield corresponding rhodium porphyrin alkyls and the functionalized esters. Rh(tmp)OH was the proposed intermediate responsible for cleaving the C(α)-C(β) bond. The reaction is general for both straight- and branch-chain ethers.

- Separation of methylene chloride from tetrahydrofuran by extractive distillation
-
Methylene chloride is difficult to separate from tetrahydrofuran by conventional distillation or rectification because of the proximity of their vapor pressures. Methylene chloride can be readily separated from tetrahydrofuran by extractive distillation. Effective agents are 1-pentanol, 1,2-butanediol and 3-nitrotoluene.

- SYNTHESIS AND TRANSFORMATIONS OF α-HYDROXY HYDROPEROXIDES OF 1,1-DIALKOXY-2-PROPANONES, CATALYZED BY Fe(II) IONS
-
The reaction of 1,1-dialkoxy-2-propanones with hydrogen peroxide at -8 deg C leads to 1,1-dialkoxy-2-hydroxy-2-hydroperoxypropanes, the decomposition of which catalyzed by Fe(II) ions at 0-5 deg C leads to the formation of acetic acid, alkyl formates with yields of 25-30percent, and the corresponding alcohols with yields of 45-50percent and with ca.85percent conversion of the initial compounds.If the reactions are conducted in a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride or potassium thiocyanate, the alkyl chlorides (yields 9-12percent) or alkyl thiocyanates (yields 10percent) are formed in addition to the alcohols (yields 30-35percent).
