Book Synopsis Biocatalysts in Organic Syntheses by : J. Tramper
Download or read book Biocatalysts in Organic Syntheses written by J. Tramper and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1985 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many interesting chemical reactions that are difficult or impossible to accomplish by ordinary chemical means are efficiently catalysed by enzymes in microbial, plant and animal cells. The lack of communication between organic chemists and biotechnologists is an important factor limiting the number of synthetic applications of biocatalysts. This book contains most of the presentations of an international symposium which was held to try and bring the groups together. A total of 225 participants attended the symposium, with about one half biotechnologists and one half organic chemists, demonstrating the interest of the former in applying enzymic methods in organic reactions and of the latter in looking for enzymes as tools in organic methodology.

Book Synopsis Modification of Polymers by : Charles E. Carraher
Download or read book Modification of Polymers written by Charles E. Carraher and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sheer volume of topics which could have been included under our general title prompted us to make some rather arbitrary decisions about content. Modification by irradiation is not included because the activity in this area is being treated elsewhere. We have chosen to emphasize chemical routes to modification and have striven to pre sent as balanced a representation of current activity as time and page count permit. Industrial applications, both real and potential, are included. Where appropriate, we have encouraged the contributors to include review material to help provide the reader with adequate context. The initial chapter is a review from a historical perspective of polymer modification and contains an extensive bibliography. The remainder of the book is divided into four general areas: Reactions and Preparation of Copolymers Reactions and Preparation of Block and Graft Copolymers Modification Through Condensation Reactions Applications The chemical modification of homopolymers such as polyvinylchlo ride, polyethylene, poly(chloroalkylene sulfides), polysulfones, poly chloromethylstyrene, polyisobutylene, polysodium acrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl chloroformate, sulfonated polystyrene; block and graft copolymers such as poly(styrene-block-ethylene-co-butylene block-styrene), poly(I,4-polybutadiene-block ethylene oxide), star chlorine-telechelic polyisobutylene, poly(isobutylene-co-2,3-dimethyl- 1,3-butadiene), poly(styrene-co-N-butylmethacrylate); cellulose, dex tran and inulin, is described.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of enzymes in SCFs has bean growing over last two decades as chemists attempt to broaden the applications of biocatalysis. In addition to on going research in solvent-free systems, synthesis in SCFs can potentially offer new alternatives to enzyme-catalysed reactions. Continuing improvements in biocatalysts and a better understanding of biocatalysis assisted by SCFs are expected to greatly influence the production of fina chemicals. Historically emphasis has rested on performing biocatalysis in SC-CO2 in supercritical conditions of the whole reaction bulk. However, in the area of critical pressure, all CO2 density-dependent properties, such as the dielectric constant, refractive index, fugacity coefficient and solubility parameters, are strong function of pressure. Consequently, substrate/product solubility, solvation and mass transfer phenomena dramatically change at the critical point, leading to areaction performance dependence on pressure. The high sensitivity of solubility to pressure, particularly marked close to the critical point, makes the vapour-liquid phase equilibrium of the studied system very interesting to investigate. In this work, research efforts were aimed at developing selective methods for the production of polyfunctional molecules with high potential industrial applications by enzymatic reactions carried out in a liquid reaction bulk in subcritical conditions rich in dense CO2. In the first part of the PhD thesis, studies of the role of the solvent to investigate how the phase equilibrium triggers the reaction performance were carried out. Wax esters, chosen as model system to carry on a thermodynamic interpretation of the enzymatic esterification kinetics in denseCO2 as reaction medium, were successfully obtained from the esterification reaction between long-chain fatty alcohols and long-chain fattyacids over immobilized lipase from Rhizomucor miehei (Lipozyme RM IM) in sub- and supercritical conditions of the whole reaction bulk. Firstly, complete and systematic screening and optimisation of the process parameters on the products final concentration and reaction rate in solvent-free system were developed. Secondly, the kinetics and thermodynamics correlation of the wax esters biocatalytic synthesis over Lipozyme RM IM by using dense CO2 as solvent medium in a batch stirred and in a continuous bench-scale plug-flow packed bed high-pressure reactors was investigated. Process conditions (pressure, temperature, stirrer speed, water content, substrates molar ratio, incubation time, solvent and substrates flow rates) were optimised. A complementary study of the model system substrates/CO2 vapour-liquid phase equilibria in two different apparatuses (a variable-volume view celi and a batch stirred reactor), using the synthetic and static-analytic methods was carried out. Kinetic observations on the pressure effect exhibited that liquid reaction mixture in subcritical conditions led to higher performance than when diluted in a single supercritical phase. A cogent physical explanation of the pressure effect on the reaction performance by exploiting thermodynamic arguments was put forward. The potential of developing enzymatic reactions in liquid rich in dense CO2 has bean explained on the basis of the high solubility of CO2 in substrates liquid mixture. On this basis, the strategy of performing biocatalysis in SC-CO2 in subcritical conditions of the whole reaction bulk is bound to find an increasing range of biotechnological applications for large-scala preparation. The outlook for exploitation of dense CO2 at lower pressures in developing new biotransformation schemes is very promising. Once a deep understanding of the biocatalysis in den se CO2 and of the pressure influence has bean acquired, in the second part of this research work an attempt to confirm these successful first results obtained by producing organic compounds with high added value by enzymatic reaction in dense CO2 was started. Research efforts were aimed to the production of enantiopure compounds by lipase-catalysed resolution in SC-CO2 combined with ILs, benefiting from the advantages of bothneoteric solvents properties. By combining SC-CO2 and ILs, an integral process of biocatalysis and separation can be developed since SC-CO2 is showing high ability to extract hydrophobic compounds from certain ILs, as it is high soluble in IL phase, while ILs are not measurably soluble in the SC-CO2. Sec-alcohols (Le. rac-1-phenylethanol) were chosen as model systems for the lipase-mediated kinetic resolution in dense CO2 combined with ILs by transesterification with vinyl acetate as acyl denar in the acyl transfer reaction over immobilised lipase B from Candida antarctica (NOVOZYM 435). Screening and optimization of several reaction parameters (pressure, stirrer speed, enzyme concentration, ionic liquid content, substrates molar ratio and incubation time) on the kinetic resolution of racemates of (+-)-1-phenylethanol in several ILs, dense CO2 and biphasic IL/SC-CO2 systems were developed in a high-pressure variable-volume view celI. This study has highlighted that by increasing the amount of the chiral catalyst, of the suitable solvent and of the acyl denar is a successful approach for the enzymatic kinetic resolution of racemates. The physical explanation of the pressure effect on the reaction performance by exploiting thermodynamic arguments put forward investigating the lipase-mediated wax esters synthesis in dense CO2 was validated. ILlSC-CO2 biphasic systems resulted excellent reaction media for enzyme-catalyzed resolution of racemic mixtures. On this basis, this PhD thesis is aimed to open new perspectives to develop integral green chemical processes by appropriate ILs/SC-CO2 biphasic systems because of the physical and chemical characteristics of these solvents and the enhanced catalytic properties of enzymes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enzymatic catalysis has gained considerable attention in recent years as an efficient tool in the preparation of natural products, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and food ingredients. The high selectivity and mild reaction con- tions associated with enzymatic transformations have made this approach an attractive alternative in the synthesis of complex bioactive compounds, which are often difficult to obtain by standard chemical routes. However, the maj- ity of organic compounds are not very soluble in water, which was traditi- ally perceived as the only suitable reaction medium for the application of biocatalysts. The realization that most enzymes can function perfectly well under nearly anhydrous conditions and, in addition, display a number of useful properties, e. g. , highly enhanced stability and different selectivity, has d- matically widened the scope of their application to the organic synthesis. Another great attraction of using organic solvents rather than water as a reaction solvent is the ability to perform synthetic transformations with re- tively inexpensive hydrolytic enzymes. It is worth reminding the reader that in vivo, the synthetic and hydrolytic pathways are catalyzed by different enzymes. However, elimination of water from the reaction mixture enables the “reversal” of hydrolytic enzymes and thus avoids the use of the expensive cofactors or activated substrates that are required for their synthetic count- parts.
Book Synopsis Biotransformations in Organic Chemistry by : Kurt Faber
Download or read book Biotransformations in Organic Chemistry written by Kurt Faber and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of natural catalysts - enzymes - for the transformation of non-natural is not at all new: they have been used for more man-made organic compounds than one hundred years, employed either as whole cells, cell organelles or isolated enzymes [1]. Certainly, the object of most of the early research was totally different from that of the present day. Thus the elucidation of biochemical pathways and enzyme mechanisms was in the foreground of the reasearch some decades ago. It was mainly during the 1980s that the enormous potential of applying natural catalysts to transform non-natural organic compounds was recognized. What started as a trend in the late 1970s could almost be called a fashion in synthetic organic chemistry in the 1990s. Although the early euphoria during the 'gold rush' in this field seems to have eased somewhat, there is still no limit to be seen for the future development of such methods. As a result of this extensive, recent research, there have been an estimated 5000 papers published on the subject [2]. To collate these data as a kind of 'super-review' would clearly be an impossible task and, furthermore, such a hypothetical book would be unpalatable for the non-expert.
Book Synopsis Transesterification by : Anita Becker
Download or read book Transesterification written by Anita Becker and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2018 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transesterification is an organic reaction in which the organic group R of an ester is exchanged with another organic group R of an alcohol according to a mechanism called alcoholysis. In this compilation, the authors address the way the transesterification process has become widely popular in biodiesel production, on an industrial scale, by reaction of triglyceride with short-length alcohol (methanol and/or ethanol).Next, Jatropha curcas Linnaeus, a non-edible raw material, is discussed as an attractive alternative for biodiesel production. The heterogeneous acid catalysis of this second-generation raw material is examined, including the mechanisms of esterification of fatty acids and transesterification of the triacylglycerides present in Jatropha curcas L. oil.In biodiesel generation, the transesterification reaction is the main process used for vegetable oils, animal fats, waste cooking oil or micro/macroalgae. Thus, the authors propose that catalysts such as acid and base or enzymes should be used to improve the rate of production.The closing portion of this collection reviews the use of transesterification reactions within laboratory courses of environmental and sustainable chemistry programmes for undergraduate chemistry students over the past 15 years. The authors propose that in the future, these experiments should be revised to include discussions of process sustainability and illustrations of life-cycle analysis approaches to bio-fuel production.
