A Method For Preparing (Meth)Acrylic Acid Ester Based Compound

The invention relates to a method for preparing a (meth)acrylic acid ester-based compound, and according to the preparation method, a (meth)acrylic acid ester-based compound can be prepared with high purity and high yield, by easily introducing an acrylic structure into alcohol using a diamine-based compound and acid anhydride.

Production of l-menthyl acetate through kinetic resolution by?Candida cylindracea lipase: effects of alkaloids as additives

Abstract: Enzymatic transesterification of dl-menthol with vinyl acetate in tert-Butyl methyl ether (TBME) catalyzed by Candida cylindracea lipase (CCL) was carried out in the presence of cinchona alkaloid as additive. The effects of various reaction parameters, such as lipase nature and loading, acylating agent, molecular sieves, solvents and various additives, on the reactivity as well as on the enantioselectivity were investigated. A significant improvement of CCL reactivity has been recorded after using cinchona alkaloid as additive in TBME. A high enantiomeric ratio (E = 80) was achieved when 30?mol% of quinidine was added, and l-(-)-menthyl acetate was obtained with 93% optical purity and 49% conversion. This process was easily applied to gram-scale quantities, using commercially inexpensive lipase, providing high yield optically active menthol under mild experimental conditions.

Proton-gradient-transfer acid complexes and their catalytic performance for the synthesis of geranyl acetate

Special proton-gradient-transfer acid complexes (PGTACs) in which the bonded protons are not equivalent and have gradients in transfer ability, acidity, and reactivity were reported. The acidity gradient of the protons gave the PGTACs excellent catalytic activity and selectivity in the esterification of terpenols. These PGTACs are “reaction-induced self-separation catalysts” and can be easily reused. The kinetics with PGTACs as catalyst in the esterification of geraniol were also studied for use in engineering design.
