The simultaneous production of lactulose (LAU), lactobionic acid (LBA), and organic acids from sweet and acid whey permeate (SWP and AWP) via catalytic synthesis (5% Ru/C) was studied in a continuous stirred-tank reactor. At selected conditions (60 °C, 60 bar, and 600 rpm), a maximum conversion of lactose (37 and 34%) was obtained after 90 min for SWP and AWP, respectively. The highest yield calculated with respect to the initial concentration of lactose for LAU was 22.98 ± 0.81 and 15.29 ± 0.81% after only 30 min for SWP, and AWP, respectively. For LBA, a maximum yield was found in SWP (5.23%) after 210 min, while about 2.2% was found in AWP. Six major organic acids (gluconic, pyruvic, lactic, formic, acetic, and citric acid) were quantified during the one-pot synthesis of lactose.

: We present a facile and environmentally benign protocol for the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran derivatives via multi-component condensation of dimedon, malononitrile and different aromatic aldehydes in presence of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cyanoborohydride ([EMIm][BH3CN]) as catalyst under microwave irradiation. The one-pot synthesis, facile solvent-free condition and good isolated yield illustrate the utility of this green approach. The structural features are de-rived using analytical tools including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT‐IR) and 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy. Electronic synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran derivatives by using catalytic action of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cyanoborohydride has been used to obtain maximum yield.

The catalytic conversion of (ligno)cellulose is currently subject of intense research. Isosorbide is one of the interesting products that can be produced from (ligno)cellulose as it can be used for the synthesis of a wide range of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and polymers. Isosorbide is obtained after the hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose, followed by the hydrogenation of glucose to sorbitol that is then dehydrated to isosorbide. The one-pot process requires an acid and a hydrogenation catalyst. Several parameters are of importance during the direct conversion of (ligno)cellulose such as the acidity, the crystallinity and the particle size of cellulose as well as the nature of the feedstocks. This review highlights all these parameters and all the strategies employed to produce isosorbide from (ligno)cellulose in a one-pot process.

AbstractDifferent supported metal catalysts were tested for the one-pot transformation of corncob xylan to xylitol. The influence of several factors, such as catalytic support, nature of metal, metal loading, amount of catalyst, hydrogen pressure and reaction temperature, was investigated. The results revealed that xylan can be converted into xylitol with a yield close to 80% after 2 h of reaction using Ru supported on carbon nanotubes (CNT, 0.4 wt% metal loading) with excellent stability after repeated use, at a temperature of 170°C and an H

AbstractThe catalytic conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to obtain high added value compounds and fuels is a rapidly developing field. Given the abundance of this renewable raw material and its reduced impact on the food chain, it is an attractive source for obtaining chemicals or fuels in the context of a sustainable economy. In this work, bi-functional catalysts were developed that were capable of performing in a single step the hydrolysis and hydrogenation of cellulose to produce compounds that may be used in the production of fine chemicals or easily converted into fuels (e.g., sorbitol). Different activated carbon (AC) supported metal catalysts were examined for the one-pot hydrolytic hydrogenation of cellulose. Among the prepared catalysts, 0.4% Ru/AC was shown to be the most active and selective for the conversion of cellulose into sorbitol. When microcrystalline cellulose was used, a conversion of 32% was reached after 5 h of reaction, with a selectivity to sorbitol of 30%. Moreover, ball-milled cellulose allowed attaining conversions over 50%, with selectivities to sorbitol of 45%. The results obtained showed that Ru/AC is effective for the hydrolytic hydrogenation of cellulose to sugar alcohols and that the conversion can be greatly improved by using the substrate after pre-treatment by ball-milling.

4Hydroxy-2H Chromenes are fused benzopyran rings, an important class of biologically active compounds, widely used as antibacterial, antiviral, antitumor, and anticancer agents. In this present paper, we report the 4 Hydroxy-2H Chromenes synthesis by using two catalysts namely, (i) ZnO nanoparticles and (ii) mesoporous ZnO/AlSBA-15 (7) catalysts. The ZnO NP catalyst was prepared by using leaf extract while ZnO/AlSBA-15(7) catalysts were prepared by the wet chemical route. All catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, FTIR, and N2 sorption techniques. The catalytic activity of the synthesized catalyst was evaluated in the one-pot reaction using aromatic aldehyde and Coumarin, and found to be maximum yield of 81% at temperature 80°C, a catalyst dose of 10 mmol %, in time limit of 4h.

<p>Three novel lanthanide metal˗organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), namely MOF-590, -591, and -592 were constructed from a naphthalene diimide tetracarboxylic acid. Gas adsorption measurements of MOF-591 and -592 revealed good adsorption of CO<sub>2</sub> (low pressure, at room temperature) and moderate CO<sub>2</sub> selectivity over N<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub>. Accordingly, breakthrough measurements were performed on a representative MOF-592, in which the separation of CO<sub>2</sub> from binary mixture containing N<sub>2</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> was demonstrated without any loss in performance over three consecutive cycles. Moreover, MOF-590, MOF-591, and MOF-592 exhibited catalytic activity in the one-pot synthesis of styrene carbonate from styrene and CO<sub>2</sub> under mild conditions (1 atm CO<sub>2</sub>, 80 °C, and solvent-free). Among the new materials, MOF-590 revealed a remarkable efficiency with exceptional conversion (96%), selectivity (95%), and yield (91%). </p><br>

The phospha-Brook rearrangement of dialkyl 1-aryl-1-hydroxymethylphosphonates (HPs) to the corresponding benzyl phosphates (BPs) has been elaborated under solid-liquid phase transfer catalytic conditions. The best procedure involved the use of triethylbenzylammonium chloride as the catalyst and Cs2CO3 as the base in acetonitrile as the solvent at room temperature. The substrate dependence of the rearrangement has been studied, and the mechanism of the transformation under discussion was explored by quantum chemical calculations. The key intermediate is an oxaphosphirane. The one-pot version starting with the Pudovik reaction has also been developed. The conditions of this tandem transformation were the same, as those for the one-step HP→BP conversion.
