Electrochemical bromofunctionalization of alkenes in a flow reactor

supporting information, p. 6892 - 6896 (2021/08/20)
The bromination of organic molecules has been extensively studied to date, yet there is still a demand for safe and sustainable methodologies. Hazardous reagents, selectivity, low atom economy and waste production are the most persisting problems of brominating reagents. The electrochemical oxidation of bromide to bromine is a viable strategy to reduce waste by avoiding chemical oxidants. Furthermore, thein situgeneration of reactive intermediates minimizes the risk of hazardous reagents. In this work, we investigate the electrochemical generation of bromine from hydrobromic acid in a flow electrochemical reactor. Various alkenes could be converted to their corresponding dibromides, bromohydrines, bromohydrin ethers and cyclized products in good to excellent yields.
Immobilization of Amano lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens on silk fibroin spheres: an alternative protocol for the enantioselective synthesis of halohydrins

The search for a new, efficient, cheaper and sustainable matrix for lipase immobilization is a growing area in biotechnology. Amano lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens was immobilized on silk fibroin spheres and used in the enzymatic kinetic resolution of halohydrins, to obtain optically active epoxides (up to 99% ee), important precursors in the synthesis of derivative antifungal azoles. This paper reinforces the versatility of silk fibroin as a support for heterogeneous catalysts.
