Characterization ofanovel deep-seamicrobial esterase EstC 10 and its use in the generation o f(R)-methyl 2-chloropropionate

A novel esterase EstC10 from Bacillus sp. CX01 isolated from the deep sea of the Western Pacific Ocean and the functionalities of EstC 10 was characterized. At present, the reports about the kinetic resolution ofracemic methyl 2-chloropropionate were quite rare. So we developed deep-sea microbial esterase EstC10 as a novel biocatalyst in the kinetic resolution of racemic methyl 2-chloropropionate and generate （R）-methyl 2-chloropropionate with high enantiomeric excess （〉99%） after the optimization of process parameters such as pH, temperature, organic co-solvents, surfactants, substrate concentration and reaction time. Notably, the optimal substrate concentration （80 mmol/L） of esterase EstC10 was higher than the kinetic resolution of another esterase, Estl2-7 （50 mmoFL）. The novel microbial esterase EstC10 identified from the deep sea was a promising green biocatalyst in the generation of （R）-methyl 2-chloropropionate as well of many other valuable chiral chemicals in industry.

Controlled Self-assembly of Two Coordination Polymers via subtly Varying Bis(2-methyl imidazole) Ligands:from 3-Connected(6,3) Net to 4-Connected sql Net

Two coordination polymers constructed from 3,4-thiophenedicarboxylic acid and bis（2-methyl imidazole） ligands, namely, {[Cd2（tdc）2（bip）2]·7H20}n （1） and [Cd（tdc）（bib）]n （2） （Hgtdc = 3,4-thiophenedicarboxylic acid, bip = 1,3-bis-（imidazol-2-methyl）propane and bib = 1,4-bis（imidazol-2-methyl）butane）, have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analyses reveal that 1 exhibits a two-dimensional （2D） layered network with 3-connected （6,3） topology, which is further connected into a three- dimensional （3D） supramolecular structure by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. However, 2 features a 2D network which can be rationalized as a 4-connected sql net. The results indicate the subtle difference of auxiliary bis（imidazol-2-methyl） ligands may lead to diverse architectures. Moreover, they exhibit luminescence emission in the solid state at room temperature.

One-pot synthesis of 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan from biomass derived 5-(chloromethyl)furfural in high yield

5-(Chloromethyl)furfural(CMF),as a new platform molecular,has become a hot topic in the field of biorefinery.Herein,the one-pot conversion of CMF to 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan(BHMF)in the water phase was demonstrated for the first time.A 91%BHMF yield was obtained over Ru/Cu Oxcatalyst,and BHMF was mainly produced by the consecutive hydrolysis and hydrogenation of CMF with 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)as an intermediate.Kinetic studies revealed that the conversion of HMF to BHMF was the rate-determining step.Remarkably,the characterizations and density functional theory(DFT)calculations further revealed the lower electron density of Ru NPs in Ru/Cu Oxcatalyst,resulting in a larger adsorption energy and a smaller free energy difference for the formation of alcohols.The present findings offered a new pathway for biomass-derived diol production through CMF as a potential source.

Preparation of 2,5-Bis(Aminomethyl)Furan by Direct Reductive Amination of 2,5-Diformylfuran over Nickel-Raney Catalysts

The direct reductive amination of 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) with ammonia to 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan (BAF) was demonstrated, for the first time, over the commercial type Nickel-Raney and acid treated Nickel-Raney catalysts. The effects of reaction parameters such as reaction medium, temperature and hydrogen pressure were described. The acid treated Nickel-Raney catalyst exhibited the highest BAF yield in the THF-water mixed reaction medium. The relatively higher Ni0 species composition and larger surface area of the acid treated Nickel-Raney catalyst with specific reaction conditions contributed greatly to the BAF formation. The oligomeric species, such as furanic imine trimers and tetramers confirmed by MALDI-MS analysis were presented as the intermediates of DFF reductive amination.

Theoretical Study on the Reaction Mechanism of o-Aminophenol, Acetic Acid and Phosphorus Oxytrichloride One-pot to Form 2-Methyl Benzoxazole

The reaction mechanism of o-aminophenol, acetic acid and phosphorus oxytrichloride in one-pot to form 2-methyl benzoxazole was studied by density functional theory. The geometries of the reactants, transition states, intermediates and products were optimized at the GGA/PW91/DNP level. Vibration analysis was carried out to confirm the transition state structure. Two possible reaction pathways were investigated in this study. The result indicates that the reaction Re→TS1→IM1→TSA2→IMA2→TSA3→IMA3→TSA4→IMA4→TSA5→P2 is the main pathway, the activation energy of which is the lowest. Re→TS1→IM1 is the rate-limiting step, with the activation energy being 221.54 kJ·mol^(-1) and the reaction heat being 10.06 kJ·mol^(-1). The dominant product predicted theoretically is in agreement with the experiment results.
