Page/Page column 11; 12, (2019/04/27)
The invention is directed to a process for the continuous preparation of a cycloadduct product from the reaction of a furanic with a dienophile, comprising heating a first liquid feed stream comprising the dienophile and a solvent in which the dienophile is dissolved; providing a second liquid feed stream comprising the furanic; leading the first liquid feed stream and the second liquid feed stream into a continuous reactor to produce a product solution stream comprising the cycloadduct product; and leading the product solution stream to an product isolation zone to produce an isolated cycloadduct product. A further aspect of the invention is an apparatus for carrying out this reaction.

A route to renewable phthalic anhydride (2-benzofuran-1,3-dione) from biomass-derived furan and maleic anhydride (furan-2,5-dione) is investigated. Furan and maleic anhydride were converted to phthalic anhydride in two reaction steps: Diels-Alder cycloaddition followed by dehydration. Excellent yields for the Diels-Alder reaction between furan and maleic-anhydride were obtained at room temperature and solvent-free conditions (SFC) yielding 96% exo-4,10-dioxa-tricyclo[5.2.1.0]dec-8-ene-3,5-dione (oxanorbornene dicarboxylic anhydride) after 4 h of reaction. It is shown that this reaction is resistant to thermal runaway because of its reversibility and exothermicity. The dehydration of the oxanorbornene was investigated using mixed-sulfonic carboxylic anhydrides in methanesulfonic acid (MSA). An 80% selectivity to phthalic anhydride (87% selectivity to phthalic anhydride and phthalic acid) was obtained after running the reaction for 2 h at 298 K to form a stable intermediate followed by 4 h at 353 K to drive the reaction to completion. The structure of the intermediate was determined. This result is much better than the 11% selectivity obtained in neat MSA using similar reaction conditions.
From Spanish fly to room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs): Synthesis, thermal stability and inhibition of dynamin 1 GTPase by a novel class of RTILs

In a series of simple synthetic manipulations the active component of the aphrodisiac Spanish fly has resulted in the generation of a new family of room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). These RTILs are synthesized in high yield from readily attainable starting materials and can be generated in either meso or chiral forms dependant on the starting furan analogue. Substituted furans (2-methyl and 2-ethyl) afford chiral RTILs, furan affords a family of meso RTILs. In all cases the counterion was crucial, with CH3SO 3- consistently displaying the lowest melting points. Of the RTILs synthesized, TGA plots showed most to be stable up to at least 250°C. We had sought to use these RTILs in a series of dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) assembly reactions via solubulisation of dynamin GTPases pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, as such all analogues were screened as potential inhibitors. Screening reveals that these RTILs display varying levels of dynamin GTPase inhibition with a number amongst the most potent inhibitors of dynamin GTPase yet discovered, e.g.13 IC50 = 2.3 ± 0.3 μM (4-(N,N-dimethyl-N-octadecyl-N-ethyl)-4-aza-10-oxatricyclo[5.2.1]decane-3, 5-dione bromide. Accordingly these RTILs have limited utility for DCC assembly with dynamin GTPase, but may be of use with other proteins or in other fields of study.
