Abstract
Herein, the diversity-oriented aromatization of cyclic hydrocarbons via potassium ethyl xanthogenate (EtOCS2K)/NH4I-mediated methylthiyl radical addition and thioether elimination was investigated under transition-metal-free conditions. The methylthiyl radical species were generated in situ via the NH4I-mediated decomposition of DMSO following which EtOCS2K promoted the breaking of carbon-sulfur bonds of thioether.

J Biosci Bioeng 2021; 132:621-629.

Abstract
Cyclohexanecarboxylate (CHCA) is formed by oxidative microbial degradation of n-alkylcycloparaffins and anaerobic degradation of benzoate, and also known to be a synthetic intermediate or the starter unit of biosynthesis of cellular constituents and secondary metabolites. Although two degradation pathways have been proposed, genetic information has been limited to the β-oxidation-like pathway. In this study, we identified a gene cluster, designated chcC1XTC2B1B2RAaAbAc, that is responsible for the CHCA aromatization pathway in Sinomonas (formerly Corynebacterium) cyclohexanicum strain ATCC 51369. Reverse transcription-PCR analysis indicated that the chc gene cluster is inducible by CHCA and that it consists of two transcriptional units, chcC1XTC2B1B2R and chcAaAbAc. Overexpression of the various genes in Escherichia coli, and purification of the recombinant proteins led to the functional characterization of ChcAaAbAc as subunits of a cytochrome P450 system responsible for CHCA hydroxylation; ChcB1 and ChcB2 as trans-4-hydroxyCHCA and cis-4-hydroxyCHCA dehydrogenases, respectively; ChcC1 was identified as a 4-oxoCHCA desaturase containing a covalently bound FAD; and ChcC2 was identified as a 4-oxocyclohexenecarboxylate desaturase. The binding constant of ChcAa for CHCA was found to be 0.37 mM. Kinetic parameters established for ChcB1 indicated that it has a high catalytic efficiency towards 4-oxoCHCA compared to trans- or cis-4-hydroxyCHCA. The Km and Kcat values of ChcC1 for 4-oxoCHCA were 0.39 mM and 44 s-1, respectively. Taken together with previous work on the identification of a pobA gene encoding a 4-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase, we have now localized the remaining set of genes for the final degradation of protocatechuate before entry into the tricarboxylic acid cycle.

Abstract
Renewable commodity chemicals can be generated from plant materials. Often abundant materials such as sugars are used for this purpose. However, these lack appropriate functionalities and, therefore, they require extensive chemical modifications before they can be used as commodity chemicals. The plant kingdom is capable of producing an almost endless variety of compounds, including compounds with highly appropriate functionalities, but these are often not available in high quantities. It has been demonstrated that it is possible to produce functionalized plant compounds on a large scale by fermentation in microorganisms. This opens up the potential to exploit plant compounds that are less abundant, but functionally resemble commodity chemicals more closely. To elaborate this concept, we demonstrate the suitability of a highly functionalized plant compound, methyl perillate, as a precursor for the commodity chemical terephthalic acid.

Abstract
A new synthetic pathway for the production of p-toluic acid has been developed starting from reagents derived from renewable resources. A Diels-Alder reaction between sorbic and acrylic acids is followed by a combined dehydrogenation/ decarboxylation process, providing p-toluic acid in high yields. This route permits to use milder conditions compared to other Diels-Alder approaches reported in the literature, and therefore can contribute to a more sustainable terephthalic acid production.
