In this work, a new Fe3O4/AlFe/Te nanocomposite was synthesized by a one-step sol–gel method. The Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were prepared and then mixed with aluminum telluride (Al2Te3) in an alkali medium to produce the desired catalyst. After characterization of the Fe3O4/AlFe/Te nanocomposite by SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, and ICP analyses, it was used in the esterification reaction. This heterogeneous catalyst showed high catalytic activity in the esterification of commercially available carboxylic acids with various alcohols to produce the desired esters at high conversions under neat conditions. The Fe3O4/AlFe/Te nanocomposites were separated from the reaction mixture via an external magnet and re-used 8 times without significant loss of catalytic activity.

A Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase has been identified in the genome sequence of Dietzia sp. D5. Sequence similarity search revealed that the enzyme belongs to a group of BVMOs that are closely related to ethionamide monooxygenase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (EthA). The BVMO was expressed in E. coli BL21-CodonPlus(DE3)-RP and the best expression was achieved when the E. coli cells were cultivated in terrific broth (TB) at 15 °C and induced with 0.1 mM of IPTG. Since the purified enzyme did not show any measurable activity, the substrate scope of the BVMO has been determined using whole-cell and crude cell extract systems. The enzyme was most active towards linear aliphatic substrates. However, it has shown a moderate degree of conversion for cyclobutanone, 2-methylcyclohexanone, bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one, phenylacetone and thioanisole. There was no detectable conversion of ethionamide, cyclohexanone and acetophenone.

Graphene oxide (GrO) prepared by the Hummers method was separated into three different fractions (GrO5000, GrO2000, and GrOres) on the basis of their dispersion stability in the water. Infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and elemental analyses revealed that GrO5000 possesses a high degree of oxygen functionalities including phenolic, carboxylic, and -OSO2H groups, compared with the other fractions. The GrO5000 was found to be a highly efficient and reusable solid catalyst for the esterification of various carboxylic acids with a variety of alcohols to furnish corresponding esters in high to excellent yields. The catalytic activity of the GrO5000 was attributed to the ability of highly polar GrO5000 scaffold to adsorb/attract reactants, where the acid functionalities of GrO5000 facilitated the esterification process efficiently. The chemical and structural features of GrO5000 were discussed to understand the improved catalytic activity compared with GrO2000 and conventional solid acid catalysts.
