A New and Efficient Approach to Macrocyclic Keto Lactones
Karim, Mohammad R.,Sampson, Paul
, p. 598 - 605 (1990)
A new and efficient method for macrolactonization has been developed.The intramolecular nucleophilic displacement of chloride from the highly electrophilic α-chloro ketone moiety in 15 by a remote carboxylate nucleophile resulted in the clean formation of the 11-membered keto lactone 1.Relatively high substrate concentrations (up to 18 mM) could be employed without formation of dimeric or oligomeric byproducts.The slow mixing of substrate and base was not required.This macrolactonization reaction was studied in various solvents at a number of substrate concentrations and reaction temperatures in order to evaluate its scope and limitations.A low-temperature Ti(III) ion/peroxide induced radical addition reaction has been developed.The lowering of the reaction temperature from 0 deg C to -78 deg C consistently afforded a dramatic increase in product yield from such reactions.This lowering of the reaction temperature proved essential when the highly functionalized acetoxymethyl vinyl ketone was employed as the radical acceptor.

Biotransformation of long-chain fatty acids into medium-chain α,ω-dicarboxylic acids or ω-aminocarboxylic acids could be achieved with biocatalysts. This study presents the production of α,ω-dicarboxylic acids (e.g., C9, C11, C 12, C13) and ω-aminocarboxylic acids (e.g., C 11, C12, C13) directly from fatty acids (e.g., oleic acid, ricinoleic acid, lesquerolic acid) using recombinant Escherichia coli-based biocatalysts. ω-Hydroxycarboxylic acids, which were produced from oxidative cleavage of fatty acids via enzymatic reactions involving a fatty acid double bond hydratase, an alcohol dehydrogenase, a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase and an esterase, were then oxidized to α,ω- dicarboxylic acids by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH, AlkJ) from Pseudomonas putida GPo1 or converted into ω-aminocarboxylic acids by a serial combination of ADH from P. putida GPo1 and an ω-transaminase of Silicibacter pomeroyi. The double bonds present in the fatty acids such as ricinoleic acid and lesquerolic acid were reduced by E. coli-native enzymes during the biotransformations. This study demonstrates that the industrially relevant building blocks (C9 to C13 saturated α,ω- dicarboxylic acids and ω-aminocarboxylic acids) can be produced from renewable fatty acids using biocatalysis.

Environmentally friendly manufacture of organic compounds has been intensively reexamined in recent years. Many excellent methods have been devised to produce organic compounds from renewable resources. Azelaic acid has been produced by ozonolysis of oleic acid. The reaction was performed in a Bach bubbling reactor, with fine bubbles, at high temperature (150 °C) without utilizing any catalyst or any solvent. Yield of the reaction was 20% after 2 h. Production of azelaic acid was confirmed by use of FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopic data and high-performance liquid chromatography of both synthesized and reference azelaic acid. A theoretical study was performed to obtain quantum chemical data for azelaic acid and to optimize the molecule's geometry. Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011.

Three lipid-based Polyester Amides (PEAs) with varying ratios of ester and amide linkages were synthesized. Oleic acid was used as the starting material to produce the intermediates, characterized by MS and NMR, used for polymerization. PEAs were characterized by FTIR and GPC. The PEAs were constrained to have similar number average molecular weights, in the 2 × 104 range, thereby enabling comparison of their physical properties from a structural perspective. The thermal behavior of the polymers was assessed by DSC, DMA and TGA. Thermal degradation was not affected by ester/amide ratios, but Tg increased non-linearly with decreasing ester/amide ratios and correlated with hydrogen-bond density and repeating unit chain length. Crystallinity was studied by XRD and DSC. Degree of crystallization and multiple melting behavior as a function of cooling kinetics were explained well by hydrogen-bond density, repeating unit chain length and density of ester moieties. Mechanical properties were investigated by DMA and Tensile Analysis, with a non-linear increase of storage and tensile moduli recorded as a function of decreasing ester/amide ratios. The findings suggest how approaches to the synthesis of lipid-based PEAs can be targeted to the delivery of specific physical properties.

Regiospecific oxyfunctionalization of renewable long chain fatty acids into industrially relevant C9 carboxylic acids has been investigated. One example was biocatalytic transformation of 10,12-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid, which was produced from ricinoleic acid ((9Z,12R)-12-hydroxyoctadec-9-enoic acid) by a fatty acid double bond hydratase, into (R)-3-hydroxynonanoic acid, 9-hydroxynonanoic acid, and 1,9-nonanedioic acid with a high conversion yield of ca. 70%. The biotransformation was driven by enzyme/whole-cell biocatalysts, consisting of the esterase of Pseudomonas fluorescens and the recombinant Escherichia coli expressing the secondary alcohol dehydrogenase of Micrococcus luteus, the Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 and the primary alcohol/aldehyde dehydrogenases of Acinetobacter sp. NCIMB9871. The high conversion yields and the high product formation rates over 20 U/g dry cells with insoluble reactants indicated that various (poly-hydroxy) fatty acids could be converted into multi-functional products via the simultaneous enzyme/whole-cell biotransformations. This study will contribute to the enzyme-based functionalization of hydrophobic substances. (Figure presented.).

supporting information, p. 2391 - 2396 (2021/04/07)
A simple and efficient catalyst-free protocol for continuous flow synthesis of azelaic acid is developed from the renewable feedstock oleic acid. An ozone and oxygen mixture was used as the reagent for oxidative cleavage of double bond without using any metal catalyst or terminal oxidant. The target product was scaled up to more than 100 g with 86% yield in a white powder form. Complete recycling and reuse of the solvent were established making it a green method. The approach is significantly energy efficient and also has a very small chemical footprint. The methodology has been successfully tested with four fatty acids making it a versatile platform that gives value addition from renewable resources.

Oxidative cleavage of carbon-carbon double bonds (C-C) in alkenes and fatty acids produces aldehydes and acids valued as chemical intermediates. Solid tungsten oxide catalysts are low cost, nontoxic, and selective for the oxidative cleavage of C-C bonds with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and are, therefore, a promising option for continuous processes. Despite the relevance of these materials, the elementary steps involved and their sensitivity to the form of W sites present on surfaces have not been described. Here, we combine in situ spectroscopy and rate measurements to identify significant steps in the reaction and the reactive species present on the catalysts and examine differences between the kinetics of this reaction on isolated W atoms grafted to alumina and on those exposed on crystalline WO3 nanoparticles. Raman spectroscopy shows that W-peroxo complexes (W-(η2-O2)) formed from H2O2 react with alkenes in a kinetically relevant step to produce epoxides, which undergo hydrolysis at protic surface sites. Subsequently, the CH3CN solvent deprotonates diols to form alpha-hydroxy ketones that react to form aldehydes and water following nucleophilic attack of H2O2. Turnover rates for oxidative cleavage, determined by in situ site titrations, on WOx-Al2O3 are 75% greater than those on WO3 at standard conditions. These differences reflect the activation enthalpies (ΔH?) for the oxidative cleavage of 4-octene that are much lower than those for the isolated WOx sites (36 ± 3 and 60 ± 6 kJ·mol-1 for WOx-Al2O3 and WO3, respectively) and correlate strongly with the difference between the enthalpies of adsorption for epoxyoctane (ΔHads,epox), which resembles the transition state for epoxidation. The WOx-Al2O3 catalysts mediate oxidative cleavage of oleic acid with H2O2 following a mechanism comparable to that for the oxidative cleavage of 4-octene. The WO3 materials, however, form only the epoxide and do not cleave the C-C bond or produce aldehydes and acids. These differences reflect the distinct site requirements for these reaction pathways and indicate that acid sites required for diol formation are strongly inhibited by oleic acids and epoxides on WO3 whereas the Al2O3 support provides sites competent for this reaction and increase the yield of the oxidative cleavage products.
