Chemical Equation Presented Did nature use the same strategy? The combination of crystal growth and iterative retro-aldol/aldol reactions catalyzed by a simple achiral (or racemic) base allows improvement of the enantiomer ratio of a product obtained from a stereochemically imperfect aldol reaction (see scheme).

The development of a combination enzyme and organocatalyst for aqueous sequential organic transformation has great significance, in that it is not only environmentally friendly but also overcomes only a single methodological drawback, either in the chemical or biological process. Herein, through the utilization of the bulky steric hindrance of chiral proline derivatives, an integrated laccase and proline as a chemo-enzymatic co-catalyst system is developed. It enables an efficient oxidation/aldol enantioselective sequential reaction to be accomplished, overcoming the mutual deactivation issue. As we present in this study, this one-pot organic transformation, an initial laccase-mediated oxidation of arylbenzyl alcohols and cyclohexanol to form aldehydes and cyclohexanone, followed by a subsequent proline derivative-catalyzed aldol condensation of the in situ generated intermediates, provides various 1,2-diastereoisomeric chiral β-hydroxy ketones with acceptable yields and high enantio-/diastereoselectivities.

In this work, we discuss the valorization of biomass waste-derived orange peel ash (OPA) by exploring its applicability as a heterogeneous catalyst in aqueous aldol reactions and demonstrating its versatility by promoting the methanolysis of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) waste. The catalyst was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) to decode its chemical composition. The aldol reactions were carried out at ambient temperature in the presence of water as a solvent. PET depolymerization was performed in an autoclave for 1 h using only 6% w/w OPA. The catalyst was recovered and reused in both the reactions for up to four successive cycles with minimal loss in the catalytic activity. The use of OPA as a cost-free, eco-friendly and effective recyclable catalyst enables a greener route for C-C bond formation and PET waste recycling.
