Two commercially available enzymes, Dextrozyme (α-amylase) and Esperase (protease), were covalently immobilized on non-woven electrospun poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) nanofiber mats with partial retention of their catalytic activity. Immobilization was achieved for the enzymes on their own as well as in different combinations with an additional enzyme, β-galactosidase, on the same non-woven nanofiber mat. This experiment yielded a universal method for immobilizing different combinations of enzymes with nanofibrous mats containing maleic anhydride (MAnh) residues in the polymer backbone.

: A highly efficient heterogeneous nanocatalyst based on modified poly (styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (MPSAMA) in three steps was fabricated. Then, the MPSAMA surface was modified using chlorosulfonic acid (CAS) to achieve a sulfonated MPSAMA (SMPSAMA) with high acidity and efficiency. FT-IR spectroscopy, CHNS analysis, FESEM, and TGA were employed to characterize the prepared nanocatalyst. The catalytic activity of the SMPSAMA was examined for the formation of the polyhydroquinoline derivatives through Hantzsch condensation and the synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives. This new heterogeneous nanocatalyst has been efficiently used for the synthesis of bifunctional bis polyhydroquinoline, and new alkylene bridging bis 2-amino-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo[b]pyran derivatives.

Methods where vanadium in the precursor is reduced to V4+ in solution are well suited to the synthesis of vanadium-phosphorus catalyst because the high temperatures (500 to 800 °C) required to transform the precursor to the active catalyst are thus avoid, which is desirable from the chemical as well as structuro-physical aspects. The way of forming and activating the catalyst, i.e. the temperature regime of the treatment and the kind of the gas atmosphere, were found to affect appreciably the catalyst activity in the partial oxidation of butane to maleic anhydride.. Forming procedures resulting in sufficiently fine crystals and optimized lattice defects are suitable. The application of synthesis, forming and activation procedures exhibiting a low tendency to form, in the catalyst phase composition, condensed phosphates such as VO(PO3)2 or even V(PO3)3 is also beneficial to the catalyst activity. The catalytic properties of the vanadium-phosphorus catalyst which was prepared in concentrated HCl were improved considerably by doping the lattice with modifying metal cations.

Oxidation of n-butane was investigated on vanadyl phosphate (VP) prepared in the presence of titania (anatase) and silica as supports. In the case of silica, α-VOPO4 was synthesized with no sign of interaction between the silica surface and vanadium phosphate. On the contrary, titania was coated with amorphous VP (P/V = 1), preventing the crystallization of VOPO4 at least up to the VP content of 21%. n-Butane was completely converted into CO2 for the VP/TiO2 catalytic system. Upon impregnation with metal sulfates, maleic anhydride (MA) was produced with selectivities depending on the nature of the added metallic species, the best effect being observed with Fe2+ (V/Fe = 3). Selectivities to MA were influenced by the P/V ratio, with a maximum at P/V = 1.2. Keywords: vanadyl phosphate, maleic anhydride, butane oxidation, anatase, rutile.

Hydroformylation is an industrial process that allows for the production of aldehydes from alkenes using transition metals. The reaction can be carried out in water, and the catalyst may be recycled at the end of the reaction. The industrial application of rhodium-catalyzed aqueous hydroformylation has been demonstrated for smaller olefins (propene and butene). Unfortunately, larger olefins are weakly soluble in water, which results in very low catalytic activity. In an attempt to counteract this, we investigated the use of amphiphilic oleic succinyl-cyclodextrins (OS-CDs) synthesized from oleic acid derivatives and maleic anhydride. OS-CDs were found to increase the catalytic activity of rhodium during the hydroformylation of water-insoluble olefins, such as 1-decene and 1-hexadecene, by promoting mass transfer. Recyclability of the catalytic system was also evaluated in the presence of these cyclodextrins.
