Asymmetric Bioreduction of 3,5-Bis（trifluoromethyl） Acetophenone to Its Corresponding Alcohol by Candida troplcalis

(S)-3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenyl ethanol is a key chiral intermediate for the synthesis of NK-1 receptor antagonists. Enantioselective synthesis of (S)-3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenyl ethanol was successfully performed in high enantiomeric excess (e.e.) through asymmetric reduction of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone catalyzed by Candida tropicalis 104 cells. The influence of some key reaction parameters such as substrate concentration, co-substrate and its concentration, biomass and reaction time was examined, respectively. The results showed that these factors obviously influence the yield, but the optical purity of the prepared product remains intact. The opti-mum conditions for the preparation of (S)-3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenyl ethanol were found to be as follows: sub-strate concentration 50 mmol?L?1; 50 g·L-1 of maltose as co-substrate; wet cell concentration 300 g·L-1; reaction for 30 h. Under above optimal conditions, the maximum yield for (S)-3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenyl ethanol reached 70.3% with 100% of product e.e.

Synthesis, characterization of triphenyltin grafted on SBA-15mesoporous silica and its catalytic performance for the synthesis of 4-methylacetophenone

The production of Ph3Sn–O–SBA-15(Ph3Sn SBA)was achieved by heating triphenyltin chloride and SBA-15in N-methylpyrrolidone at 190°C for 5 h using triethylamine as a catalyst.The composition,structure,and surface physical and chemical properties of Ph3Sn SBA were characterized using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy(ICP-AES),13C,119Sn and29Si solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)spectroscopy in situ pyridine infrared spectroscopy(Py-IR),N2adsorption–desorption isotherms,X-ray diffraction(XRD)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The results of ICP-AES and organic elemental analysis showed that the grafting yield of Sn was 17%(by mass)for Ph3Sn SBA.The elemental analysis and solid-state NMR results for Ph3Sn SBA were consistent with grafting of triphenyltin on SBA-15.The N2adsorption–desorption,XRD and TEM analyses showed that Ph3Sn SBA retained an ordered hexagonal mesoporous structure,resulting in decreases in the surface area,pore size and mesopore volume,and an increase in acidity as compared with SBA-15.The Hammett acidity function(H0)value and the number of acid sites for Ph3Sn SBA,obtained by the Hammett methods,were 2.77–3.30 and 2.07 mmol·g-1,respectively.The Friedel–Crafts acylation of toluene and acetic anhydride over Ph3Sn SBA was investigated.The yield of methylacetophenone(MAP)and the selectivity for 4-methylacetophenone(PMAP)were 79.56%and 97.12%,respectively,when the conditions were n(toluene):n(anhydride)=2.0:1.0 with 6%(by mass)catalyst,and heating under reflux for 5 h.The PMAP selectivity still reached 93.11%when Ph3Sn SBA was used for the fifth time under the same reaction conditions.

Excess Molar Volumes and Viscosities of Binary Mixtures of p-Xylene with Cyclohexane, n-Heptane, n-Octane, Sulfolane, N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone and Acetic Acid at 303.15 K and 323.15 K and Atmospheric Pressure

Experimental data on density and viscosity at 303.15K and 323.15K are presented for the binary mixtures of p-xylene with cyclohexane, n-heptane, n-octane, sulfolane, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and acetic acid.From these data, the excess molar volume and deviations in viscosity have been calculated. The computed quantities have been fitted to the Redlich-Kister Equation to derive coefficients and estimate the standard error values. Results are discussed in terms of intermolecular interactions.
