[PMID: 38339215 PMCID: PMC10856482 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25031937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
α-Hydroxy ketones are a class of vital organic skeletons that generally exist in a variety of natural products and high-value chemicals. However, the traditional synthetic route for their production involves toxic Hg salts and corrosive H2SO4 as catalysts, resulting in harsh conditions and the undesired side reaction of Meyer-Schuster rearrangement. In this study, CO2-promoted hydration of propargylic alcohols was achieved for the synthesis of various α-hydroxy ketones. Notably, this process was catalyzed using an environmentally friendly and cost-effective biomass-based ionic liquids/CuCl system, which effectively eliminated the side reaction. The ionic liquids utilized in this system are derived from natural biomass materials, which exhibited recyclability and catalytic activity under 1 bar of CO2 pressure without volatile organic solvents or additives. Evaluation of the green metrics revealed the superiority of this CuCl/ionic liquid system in terms of environmental sustainability. Further mechanistic investigation attributed the excellent performance to the ionic liquid component, which exhibited multifunctionality in activating substrates, CO2 and the Cu component.

Abstract
A new methodology for the preparation of Co(I)-NHC (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes, namely, [Co(PCNHCP)(CO)2][Co(CO)4] (1) and [Co(PCNHCP)(CO)2]BF4 (2), has been developed (PCNHCP = 1,3-bis(2-(diphenylphosphanyl)ethyl)-imidazol-2-ylidene). Both complexes can be straightforwardly prepared by direct reaction of their parent imidazolium salts with the Co(0) complex Co2(CO)8. Complex 1 efficiently catalyses the reductive amination of furfural and levulinic acid employing silanes as reducing agents under mild conditions. Furfural has been converted into a variety of secondary and tertiary amines employing dimethyl carbonate as the solvent, while levulinic acid has been converted into pyrrolidines under solventless conditions. Dehydrocoupling of the silane to give polysilanes has been observed to occur as a side reaction of the hydrosilylation process.

Abstract
In this study, the alcoholysis of furfuryl alcohol (FA) into ethyl levulinate (EL) using a deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of choline chloride (ChCl) and ethanol was investigated by experiments and calculations. Experimental results reveal that the addition of 5-sulfonic acid salicylic acid (5-SSA) can catalyze the alcoholysis of FA to produce EL. The combined presence of ChCl and 5-SSA significantly improved the selectivity for EL. The mechanism of the alcoholysis of FA to EL in acidic DES was investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations in Gaussian 03. It was found that hydrogen-bond acceptor ChCl is coupled with hydrogen-bond donor ethanol to form a structure similar to HCl and ethoxy, which facilitates the alcoholysis of FA into EL.

Propylsulfonic Acid-Functionalized Mesostructured Natural Rubber/Silica Nanocomposites as Promising Hydrophobic Solid Catalysts for Alkyl Levulinate Synthesis. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12040604.

Abstract
Organosulfonic acid-functionalized mesoporous silica is a class of heterogeneous acid catalysts used in esterification processes due to its high surface area, shape-selective properties, and strongly acidic sites. Since water is generated as a by-product of esterification, the surface of mesostructured silica is modified to enhance hydrophobicity and catalytic performance. In this study, a series of propylsulfonic acid-functionalized nanocomposites based on natural rubber and hexagonal mesoporous silica (NRHMS-SO3H) with different acidities were prepared via an in situ sol-gel process using tetraethyl orthosilicate as the silica source, dodecylamine as the nonionic templating agent, and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane as the acid-functional group precursor. Compared with conventional propylsulfonic acid-functionalized hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS-SO3H), NRHMS-SO3H provided higher hydrophobicity, while retaining mesoporosity and high surface area. The catalytic activity of synthesized solid acids was then evaluated via batch esterification of levulinic acid (LA) with alcohols (ethanol, n-propanol, and n-butanol) to produce alkyl levulinate esters. NRHMS-SO3H exhibited higher catalytic activity than HMS-SO3H and ultra-stable Y (HUSY) zeolite owing to the synergistic effect between the strongly acidic-functional group and surface hydrophobicity. The activation energy of the reaction over the NRHMS-SO3H surface was lower than that of HUSY and HMS-SO3H, suggesting that tuning the hydrophobicity and acidity on a nanocomposite surface is a compelling strategy for energy reduction to promote catalysis.

Abstract
The chemical valorization/repurposing of biomass-derived chemicals contributes to a biobased economy. Furfural (Fur) is a recognized platform chemical produced from renewable lignocellulosic biomass, and furfuryl alcohol (FA) is its most important application. The aromatic aldehydes Fur and benzaldehyde (Bza) are commonly found in the slate of compounds produced via biomass pyrolysis. On the other hand, glycerol (Gly) is a by-product of the industrial production of biodiesel, derived from fatty acid components of biomass. This work focuses on acid catalyzed routes of Fur, Bza, Gly and FA, using a versatile crystalline lamellar coordination polymer catalyst, namely [Gd(H4nmp)(H2O)2]Cl·2H2O (1) [H6nmp=nitrilotris(methylenephosphonic acid)] synthesized via an ecofriendly, relatively fast, mild microwave-assisted approach (in water, 70 °C/40 min). This is the first among crystalline coordination polymers or metal-organic framework type materials studied for the Fur/Gly and Bza/Gly reactions, giving heterobicyclic products of the type dioxolane and dioxane, and was also effective for the FA/ethanol reaction. 1 was stable and promoted the target catalytic reactions, selectively leading to heterobicyclic dioxane and dioxolane type products in the Fur/Gly and Bza/Gly reactions (up to 91% and 95% total yields respectively, at 90 °C/4 h), and, on the other hand, 2-(ethoxymethyl)furan and ethyl levulinate from heterocyclic FA.

Abstract
γ-Valerolactone (GVL) is a kind of significant platform molecules in the modern industry,
which can be directly produced from biomass-derivatives, such as sugar, levulinic acid (LA) and ethyl
levulinate (EL). In general, GVL could be produced from LA using gas hydrogen as H-donor with
heterogeneous or homogeneous catalysts. But this strategy always has the danger of operation and requirement
of unique reactors due to explosive hydrogen as well as the acidity of reactant. Over the
past decade, researchers in this field have established new processes and strategies to meet the above
problems through the CTH process by using alcohol as H-donor and EL as the substrate over different
kinds of catalysts. In this review, we collect and discuss the literature on the production of GVL from
EL, and applications of LA, EL, and GVL with particular typical mechanisms. The catalyst preparation
methods in the mentioned reaction systems are also concerned.

Abstract
Pinus pinaster wood samples were subjected to chemical processing for manufacturing furans and organic acids from the polysaccharide fractions (cellulose and hemicellulose). The operation was performed in a single reaction stage at 180 or 190 °C, using a microwave reactor. The reaction media contained wood, water, methyl isobutyl ketone, and an acidic ionic liquid, which acted as a catalyst. In media catalyzed with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate, up to 60.5% pentosan conversion into furfural was achieved, but the conversions of cellulose and (galacto) glucomannan in levulinic acid were low. Improved results were achieved when AILs bearing a sulfonated alkyl chain were employed as catalysts. In media containing 1-(3-sulfopropyl)-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate as a catalyst, near quantitative conversion of pentosans into furfural was achieved at a short reaction time (7.5 min), together with 32.8% conversion of hexosans into levulinic acid. Longer reaction times improved the production of organic acids, but resulted in some furfural consumption. A similar reaction pattern was observed in experiments using 1-(3-sulfobutyl)-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate as a catalyst.

Abstract
Second-generation biofuels are a complex mixture of organic compounds that can be further processed to hydrocarbon fuels and other valuable chemicals. One such chemical is levulinic acid (IUPAC name: 4-oxo pentanoic acid), which is a highly versatile ketoacid obtained from cellulose present in agricultural byproducts. For oxygen-containing compounds that decompose at elevated temperatures and pressures, determining the vapor-liquid equilibria data at high temperatures via the experimental route may be challenging. The molecular simulation approach is a cost-effective tool to obtain the necessary data while also allowing us to understand the microscopic origins of macroscopic observable properties. We have employed the transferable potential for phase equilibria-united atom force field to describe the interactions in this system with the parameters for a torsional interaction that are not reported in the literature (levulinic acid is a ketoacid) being determined from density functional theory calculations. We have verified our parameterization via density computations in the isothermal-isobaric ensemble and by comparing our simulation results with the corresponding data from experiments reported in the literature. We have performed grand-canonical transition-matrix Monte Carlo simulations in the temperature range from 580 to 690 K to estimate the vapor-liquid coexistence curves in the temperature-density plane and the Clapeyron plots. From this data, the critical point (T C = 755 K, ρC = 285.4 kg/m3, and P C = 30.57 bar) has been estimated, and this may be used as input to the equations of state employed in process simulation software for design of industrial separation processes including those for "biorefining". As levulinic acid is a "ketoacid", hydrogen bonding occurs, and the liquid phase structure has also been studied using radial distribution functions.

Abstract
In this study, an efficient strategy is proposed for selective methyl levulinate production from duckweed, a typical fast-growing aquatic microalgae in warm and humid regions, in the presence of acidic ionic liquids (ILs). The results show that IL structure has a significant effect on its acidic strength, which finally determines the process efficiency for levulinate methyl generation. With the optimized catalyst of [C3H6SO3HPy]HSO4, 88.0% duckweed is consumed, resulting in a comparable methyl levulinate yield of 73.7% and a process efficiency of 81.8% at 170 °C for 5 h. Furthermore, this process is substantially influenced by the reaction condition, particularly, it is significantly temperature-dependent. In addition, solvent has a remarkable intensified effect on the process efficiency, which dramatically decreases from 81.8 to 53.7% when methanol is replaced by water.

Abstract
A sequential production of levulinic acid (LA) and porous carbon material (CM) from cellulose was conducted by a two-step process. The cellulose was first acid hydrolyzed, and the preferred reaction conditions required a severity factor of 4.0⁻4.5, in which the yields of LA, formic acid, and solid residue were 38 ± 3 wt%, 17 ± 3 wt%, and 15 ± 3 wt%, respectively. The solid residue was further used for CM preparation through pyrolysis, with or without ZnCl₂ activation. The ZnCl₂ activation promoted the formation of CMs with improved thermal stability, high surface area (1184⁻2510 m²/g), and excellent phenol adsorption capacity (136⁻172 mg/g). The used CM can be easily regenerated by a simple methanol Soxhlet extraction process, and a comparable phenol adsorption capacity of 97 mg/g was maintained for the 5th reusing. Finally, 100 g cellulose produced 40.5 g LA, 18.9 g formic acid and 8.5 g porous CM, with a total carbon utilization ratio reaching 74.4%.
