Abstract
Olefin production from polyols via deoxydehydration (DODH) was carried out over Ag-modified CeO2 -supported heterogeneous Re catalysts with H2 as a reducing agent. Both high DODH activity and low hydrogenation ability for C=C bonds were observed in the reaction of erythritol, giving a 1,3-butadiene yield of up to 90 % under "solvent-free" conditions. This catalyst is applicable to other substrates such as methyl glycosides (methyl α-fucopyranoside: 91 % yield of DODH product; methyl β-ribofuranoside: 88 % yield), which were difficult to be converted to the DODH products over the DODH catalysts reported previously. ReOx -Ag/CeO2 was reused 3 times without a decrease of activity or selectivity after calcination as regeneration. Although the transmission electron microscopy energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray absorption fine structure analyses showed that Re species were highly dispersed and Ag was present as metal particles with various sizes from well-dispersed species (<1 nm) to around 5 nm particles, the catalysts prepared from size-controlled Ag nanoparticles showed similar performance, indicating that the catalytic performance is insensitive to the Ag particle size.

Abstract
The diversification of platform chemicals is key to today's petroleum industry. Likewise, the flourishing of tomorrow's biorefineries will rely on molecules with next-generation properties from biomass. Herein, we explore this opportunity with a novel approach to monomers with custom property enhancements. Cyclic diacids with alkyl and aromatic decorations were synthesized from muconic acid by Diels-Alder cycloaddition, and copolymerized with hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid to yield polyamides with built-in hydrophobicity and flame retardancy. Testing shows a 70% reduction in water uptake and doubling of char production while largely retaining other key properties of the parent Nylon-6,6. The present approach can be generalized to access a wide range of performance-advantaged polyamides.

Abstract
Biobased raw materials, such as carbohydrates, amino acids, nucleotides, or lipids contain valuable functional groups with oxygen and nitrogen atoms. An abundance of many functional groups of the same type, such as primary or secondary hydroxy groups in carbohydrates, however, limits the synthetic usefulness if similar reactivities cannot be differentiated. Therefore, selective defunctionalization of highly functionalized biobased starting materials to differentially functionalized compounds can provide a sustainable access to chiral synthons, even in case of products with fewer functional groups. Selective defunctionalization reactions, without affecting other functional groups of the same type, are of fundamental interest for biocatalytic reactions. Controlled biocatalytic defunctionalizations of biobased raw materials are attractive for obtaining valuable platform chemicals and building blocks. The biocatalytic removal of functional groups, an important feature of natural metabolic pathways, can also be utilized in a systemic strategy for sustainable metabolite synthesis.

MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14206219. [PMID: 34683815 PMCID: PMC8538232 DOI: 10.3390/ma14206219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Revised: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
As a result of strict regulations of phthalate plasticizers, alternative non-phthalate forms are desired and increasingly used. This work presents a synthetic method for alternative plasticizers (dialkyl succinates and adipates) via esterification of succinic and adipic acid with alcohols: butan-1-ol and 2-ethylhexan-1-ol. Ionic liquids were synthesized by the reaction of triethylamine with over-equimolar (1:2.7) amounts of sulfuric(VI) acid, which were used as an acidic catalyst and solvent. The two-phase liquid–liquid system was formed during the reaction due to immiscibility of the esters with the ionic liquid. This phenomenon is a driving force of this process, shifting the equilibrium toward the product formation. As a result, dialkyl succinates and adipates were obtained in high yields (99%) and selectivities (>99%), under mild reaction conditions at 70–80 °C and using a 4:1 molar ratio of alcohol to acid and 15 mol% of catalyst. The catalyst was recycled 10 times without any loss of activity. This alternative method is highly competitive: it involves a simple procedure for product isolation as well as a high yield and purity of the resulting esters. These advantages make this method sustainable and promising for industrial applications.

Abstract
As one of the most demanded dicarboxylic acids, adipic acid can be directly produced from renewable sources. Hexoses from (hemi)cellulose are oxidized to aldaric acids and subsequently catalytically dehydroxylated. Hitherto performed homogeneously, we present the first heterogeneous catalytic process for converting an aldaric acid into muconic and adipic acid. The contribution of leached Re from the solid pre-reduced catalyst was also investigated with hot-filtration test and found to be inactive for dehydroxylation. Corrosive or hazardous (HBr/H2 ) reagents are avoided and simple alcohols and solid Re/C catalysts in an inert atmosphere are used. At 120 °C, the carboxylic groups are protected by esterification, which prevents lactonization in the absence of water or acidic sites. Dehydroxylation and partial hydrogenation yield monohexenoates (93 %). For complete hydrogenation to adipate, a 16 % higher activation barrier necessitates higher temperatures.
