In this work, the most frequently-used heteropoly acid H5PV2Mo10O40 was employed with a pH “modifier” of H2SO4 in aqueous solution for the catalytic oxidation of cellulose to formic acid.

Abstract Dihydroxymethyl radical (1) was found to react with oxygen diffusion controlled (k = 4.5 x 109 M-1 s-1). The final products of the reaction are formic acid and 1/2 hydrogen peroxide. The precursor of H2O2 was shown to be O2·- which is formed with G(O2·-) = 6.3 (a value which includes the O2·- formed by H atoms and oxygen (G(H) = 0.55)). If it is assumed that dihydroxymethylperoxyl radicals are formed as intermediates the rate constant of O2·- formation must be ≥ 106 s-1 . A bimolecular reaction of two dihydroxy-methylperoxyl radicals forming tetroxides does not occur at the dose rates used. The rate constants for the establishment of the equilibriumhave been determined at pH 5.7 and 19 °C to be k3=1.9x 10-2 M-1 s-1 and k-3 = 1.5 X 10-6 M-1 s-1 in aqueous solution.

The enzyme 2,4′-dihydroxyacetophenone dioxygenase (or DAD) catalyses the conversion of 2,4′-dihydroxyacetophenone to 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and formic acid with the incorporation of molecular oxygen. Whilst the vast majority of dioxygenases cleave within the aromatic ring of the substrate, DAD is very unusual in that it is involved in C—C bond cleavage in a substituent of the aromatic ring. There is evidence that the enzyme is a homotetramer of 20.3 kDa subunits each containing nonhaem iron and its sequence suggests that it belongs to the cupin family of dioxygenases. By the use of limited chymotrypsinolysis, the DAD enzyme fromAlcaligenessp. 4HAP has been crystallized in a form that diffracts synchrotron radiation to a resolution of 2.2 Å.
