Shao, Yuewen published the artcileCooperation between hydrogenation and acidic sites in Cu-based catalyst for selective conversion of furfural to γ-valerolactone, Category: esters-buliding-blocks, the main research area is copper catalyst furfural gamma valerolactone cooperation hydrogenation.

The production of γ-valerolactone (GVL) receives increasing attention due to its extensive applications as a promising fuel and fuel additive. In this study, the direct conversion of biomass-derived furfural to GVL with a unprecedent yield of 90.5% was achieved via consecutive hydrogenation and acid-catalyzed reactions over CuAl for hydrogenation and a co-catalyst (i.e. H-ZSM-5) for acid-catalysis in ethanol. The relative abundance of the hydrogenation sites and acidic sites determines the reaction network and the transfer of the main products from furfuryl alc. (FA) to Et levulinate (EL) or GVL, as the acidic sites, especially the Bronsted acidic sites, not only catalyze the formation of EL from FA, but also affect the hydrogenation activity of CuAl. However, the Lewis acidic sites facilitate the opening ring of FA to 1,4-pentanediol, preventing the GVL formation. The acid catalyst and hydrogenation catalyst deactivate via varied mechanisms in the conversion of furfural to GVL, which is required to be considered in the further development of the robust catalysts.

Han, Wen-Tao published the artcileInter-integration reactive distillation with vapor permeation for ethyl levulinate production: Equipment development and experimental validating, Computed Properties of 539-88-8, the main research area is inter integration reactive distillation vapor permeation ethyl levulinate production.

Et levulinate, one of the main derivatives of levulinic acid (LA), is of significant potential as platform chems. for bio-based materials. The esterification of LA was generally carried out in a conventional batch reactor or in a conventional reactive distillation column. However, traditional methods are hard to deal with equilibrium limited reactions and azeotropic issues. Therefore, the inter-integration reactive distillation with vapor permeation (R-VP-D) process, which integrated reaction, vapor permeation, and distillation into one single unit, is proposed in this paper and validated in the pilot-scale experiments A comparative study is made between a pilot-scale RD column with and without VP module. Owing to the water-selective VP membrane and the ingenious design of related apparatuses, the R-VP-D process reveal a superiority in LA conversion of 21.9% maximum higher than RD without VP process and removing of product water about 53.6% from VP module, which indicates its promising industrial application in process intensification field.

Picado, Alfredo published the artcileA chemical probe for dark kinase STK17B derives its potency and high selectivity through a unique P-loop conformation, Quality Control of 623-50-7, the main research area is human dark kinase STK17B probe selectivity P loop structure.

STK17B is a member of the death-associated protein kinase family and has been genetically linked to the development of diverse diseases. However, the role of STK17B in normal and disease pathol. is poorly defined. Here, we present the discovery of thieno[3,2-d] pyrimidine SGC-STK17B-1 (11s), a high-quality chem. probe for this understudied “”dark”” kinase. 11S is an ATP-competitive inhibitor that showed remarkable selectivity over other kinases including the closely related STK17A. X-ray crystallog. of 11s and related thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines bound to STK17B revealed a unique P-loop conformation characterized by a salt bridge between R41 and the carboxylic acid of the inhibitor. Mol. dynamic simulations of STK17B revealed the flexibility of the P-loop and a wide range of R41 conformations available to the apo-protein. The isomeric thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine SGC-STK17B-1N (19g) was identified as a neg. control compound The >100-fold lower activity of 19g on STK17B was attributed to the reduced basicity of its pyrimidine N1.

Ochiai, Nobuo published the artcileFractionated stir bar sorptive extraction using conventional and solvent-assisted approaches for enhanced identification capabilities of aroma compounds in beverages, HPLC of Formula: 5405-41-4, the main research area is stir bar sorptive extraction aroma beverages green tea beer; Aroma compounds; Fractionated stir bar sorptive extraction (Fr-SBSE); Roasted green tea; Solvent-assisted stir bar sorptive extraction (SA-SBSE); Stout beer.

For successful profiling of aroma carriers in food samples, a highly efficient extraction method is mandatory. A two-step stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) approach, namely fractionated SBSE (Fr-SBSE), was developed to improve both the organoleptic and the chem. identification of aroma compounds in beverages. The first extraction consists of a conventional mSBSE using three polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stir bars (1stmSBSE). This is followed by a solvent-assisted mSBSE performed on the same sample using three solvent-swollen PDMS stir bars (2nd SA-mSBSE). The 1stmSBSE mainly extracts apolar/medium polar solutes with log Kow values >2, while the 2nd SA-mSBSE mainly extracts polar solutes with log Kow values <2. After this two-step fractionation procedure, either thermal desorption (TD) or liquid desorption - large volume injection (LD-LVI), followed by GC-MS is performed on each set of three stir bars. A real-life sample of roasted green tea was used for method development. The performance of the Fr-SBSE method is further illustrated with sensory evaluations and GC-MS anal. for a stout beer sample. Compared to an extraction procedure with SA-mSBSE only, Fr-SBSE including a 1stmSBSE and a 2nd SA-mSBSE reduced co-elution of aroma compounds in the chromatograms and was capable of providing improved mass spectral quality for identification of 17 addnl. compounds in roasted green tea, and 12 addnl. compounds in stout beer, resp. Moreover, odor description and characterization were clearly improved.

Galanopoulos, Christos published the artcileAn integrated methodology for the economic and environmental assessment of a biorefinery supply chain, Recommanded Product: Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, the main research area is ethano ethyl levulinate electricity environmental assessment optimization simulation.

A supply chain network MILP model, developed by means of AIMMS software, and a process plant simulation model, developed by means of Aspen Plus, are combined for the optimization of a biorefinery network. Optimization of the supply chain network is initially addressed using literature process and economic data. The results are used as input in the Aspen Plus model where the tech. and economic performance of the biorefineries is calculated rigorously. The two computational tools are iteratively executed until convergence on number, locations and size of the biorefineries and on process yield to products and total costs is achieved. The final results are used to perform the Economic Value and Environmental Impact (EVEI) anal. of the overall biorefinery network. The methodol. is applied to a case study concerning the deployment of cereal straw in Germany to produce ethanol, Et levulinate and electricity. Optimization results reveal that the wheat straw supply network with four biorefineries is economically feasible and determines an environmental margin in terms of equivalent emissions savings of about 4 Mt of CO2 per yr.

Velazquez, Rocio published the artcileUsing Torulaspora delbrueckii killer yeasts in the elaboration of base wine and traditional sparkling wine, HPLC of Formula: 5405-41-4, the main research area is Torulaspora Saccharomyces polysaccharide protein aroma fermentation sparkling wine; 3‑Ethoxy‑1‑propanol (PubChem CID: 8109); 4‑Vinylguaiacol (PubChem CID: 332); Aroma; Butanoic acid (PubChem CID: 264); Ethyl hexanoate (PubChem CID: 31265); Ethyl octanoate (PubChem CID: 7799); Ethyl propanoate (PubChem CID: 7749); Foam; Isobutyric acid (PubChem CID: 6590); Mannan; Polysaccharide; Second fermentation; Yeast death.

For still wines, killer strains of Torulaspora delbrueckii can be used instead of non-killer strains to improve this species’ domination during must fermentation, with an ensured, reliable impact on the final wine quality. The present work analyzed the usefulness of these killer yeasts for sparkling-wine making. After the first fermentation, the foaming capacity of T. delbrueckii base wines was very low compared to Saccharomyces cerevisiae base wines. Significant pos. correlations of foaming parameters were found with the amounts of C4-C16 Et esters and proteins, and neg. with some anti-foaming alcs. produced by each yeast species. There were, however, no evident pos. effects of polysaccharides on those parameters. The organoleptic quality of the T. delbrueckii base wines was judged inappropriate for sparkling-wine making, so that the following second-fermentation experiments only used a single assemblage of S. cerevisiae base-wines. While second fermentation was completed with inoculation of S. cerevisiae (both alone and mixed with T. delbrueckii) to yield dry sparkling wines with high CO2 pressure, single inoculation with T. delbrueckii did not complete this fermentation, leaving sweet wines with poor CO2 pressure. Yeast death due to CO2 pressure was much greater in T. delbrueckii than in S. cerevisiae, making any killer effect of S. cerevisiae over T. delbrueckii irrelevant because no autolyzed cells were found during the first days of mixed-inoculated second fermentation Nonetheless, the organoleptic quality of the mixed-inoculated sparkling wines was better than that of wines single-inoculated with S. cerevisiae, and showed no deterioration in foam quality. This seemed mainly to be because T. delbrueckii increased the amounts of Et propanoate and some acids (e.g., isobutyric and butanoic), alcs. (e.g., 3-ethoxy-1-propanol), and phenols (e.g., 4-vinylguaiacol). For these sparkling wines, no significant correlations between foaming parameters and aroma compounds were found, probably because the differences in foaming parameter values among these wines were fairly small. This is unlike the case for the base wines for which there were large differences in these parameters, which facilitated the anal. of the influence of aroma compounds on base-wine foamability.

Yun, Wan-Chu published the artcileWater-born zirconium-based metal organic frameworks as green and effective catalysts for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone: Critical roles of modulators, Recommanded Product: Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, the main research area is zirconium MOF levulinic acid valerolactone transfer hydrogenation catalyst; Levulinic acid; MOF-801; Modulators; Zr fumarate; γ-valerolactone.

While zirconium (Zr)-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising for conversion of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) through catalytic transform hydrogenation (CTH), these reported Zr MOFs for LA conversion must be synthesized in toxic DMF (DMF). From the viewpoint of sustainability, it is preferable to avoid usage of DMF-based solvents to prepare these Zr MOFs. As water is a green solvent, the aim of this study is to develop and investigate Zr MOFs, which are prepared in water, for LA conversion to GVL. Specifically, monocarboxylic acids (e.g., formic acid, acetic acid and propanoic acid) are employed as modulators during the preparation of water-born ZrF. The role of modulators is extremely important for the well-developed formation of water-born ZrF. In addition, different monocarboxylic acid modulators also significantly influence the morphol. of water-born ZrF; nevertheless, their crystalline structures and acidities are equivalent As for LA conversion, these water-born modulated ZrF MOFs are validated to successfully convert LA to GVL. Especially, the formic acid-modulated ZrF can exhibit LA conversion = 96%, selectivity for GVL = 98% and yield of GVL = 98%. These water-born modulated ZrF also exhibit even higher catalytic activities than the typical DMF-based ZrF and reported Zr-based MOFs in LA conversion to GVL. These water-born ZrF could be also reused even without regeneration for multiple cyclic LA conversion. These results and findings prove that the water-born ZrF is not only environmentally benign but also more effective for LA conversion to GVL.

Takemoto, Kohei published the artcileSite-selective esterifications of polyol β-hydroxyamides and applications to serine-selective glycopeptide modifications, Related Products of esters-buliding-blocks, the main research area is glycopeptide synthesis serine sugar steric hindrance; hydroxyamide polyol esterification hydroxyl group acylation.

The site-selective acylations of β-hydroxyamides in the presence of other hydroxyl groups are described. Central to the success of this modification is the metal-template-driven acylation using pyridine ketoxime esters as acylating reagents in combination with CuOTf. This strategy enables β-hydroxyl groups to be site-selectively acylated in various derivatives, including sterically hindered secondary β-alc. The utility of this methodol. is showcased by the serine-selective modification of a glycopeptide with unprotected sugar.

Subbotina, Elena published the artcileZeolite-Assisted Lignin-First Fractionation of Lignocellulose: Overcoming Lignin Recondensation through Shape-Selective Catalysis, Computed Properties of 539-88-8, the main research area is zeolite catalyst lignin fractionation lignocellulose wood hemicellulose; biomass; depolymerization; heterogeneous catalysis; lignin; zeolites.

Organosolv pulping releases reactive monomers from both lignin and hemicellulose by the cleavage of weak C-O bonds. These monomers recombine to form undesired polymers through the formation of recalcitrant C-C bonds. Different strategies were developed to prevent this process by stabilizing the reactive monomers (i.e., lignin-first approaches). To date, all reported approaches rely on the addition of capping agents or metal-catalyzed stabilization reactions, which usually require high pressures of hydrogen gas. Herein, a metal- and additive-free approach is reported that uses zeolites as acid catalysts to convert the reactive monomers into more stable derivatives under organosolv pulping conditions. Experiments with model lignin compounds showed that the recondensation of aldehydes and allylic alcs. produced by the cleavage of β-O-4′ bonds was efficiently inhibited by the use of protonic β zeolite. By applying a zeolite with a preferred pore size, the bimol. reactions of reactive monomers were effectively inhibited, resulting in stable and valuable monophenolics. The developed methodol. was further extended to birch wood to yield monophenolic compounds and value-added products from carbohydrates.
