Coexpression of formate dehydrogenase (FDH) and ribitol dehydrogenase (RDH) in Escherichia coli was used for the synthesis of Allitol from D-psicose. FDH was coexpressed with RDH for continuous NADH regeneration. The results revealed that the optimum conditions for allitol production occurred at pH 7.0 and 30 °C. Allitol reached the maximum yield of 19.2 mg at 2.0% substrate concentration after 48 hours. Using D-psicose as a substrate, allitol was successfully produced using an engineered E. coli coexpressed with RDH and FDH.

A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotmetric method for trace determination of salbutamol (SAL) in aqueous solution and in pharmaceutical preparations is described. The method is based on the diazotization coupling reaction of the intended compound with 4-amino benzoic acid (ABA) in alkaline medium to form an intense orange, water soluble dye that is stable and shows maximum absorption at 410 nm. A graph of absorbance versus concentration indicates that Beer’s law is obeyed over the concentration range of 0.5-30 ppm, with a molar absorbtivity 3.76×104 L.mol-1 .cm-1 depending on the concentration of SAL. The optimum conditions and stability of the colored product have been investigated and the method was applied successfully to the determination of SAL in dosage forms.

<p>Verdazyl-nitroxide diradicals were synthesized using the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of the corresponding iodoverdazyls with a nitronyl nitroxide-2-ide gold(I) complex with high yields (up to 82%). The synthesized diradicals were found to be highly thermally stable and have a singlet (D<i>E</i><sub>ST</sub> » -64 cm<sup>–1</sup>) or triplet ground state (D<i>E</i><sub>ST</sub> ³ 25 and 100 cm<sup>–1</sup>), depending on which canonical hydrocarbon diradical type they belong to. Upon crystallization, triplet diradicals form unique one-dimensional (1D) spin <i>S</i> = 1 chains of organic diradicals with intrachain ferromagnetic coupling of <i>J</i>′/<i>k</i><sub>B</sub> from 3 to 6 K.</p>

By using an iron-based catalyst, access to enantioenriched 1,1-diarylakanes was enabled through an enantioselective Suzuki-Miyaura crosscoupling reaction. The combination of a chiral cyanobis(oxazoline) ligand framework and 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene additive were essential to afford high yields and enantioselectivities in cross-coupling reactions between unactivated aryl boronic esters and a variety of benzylic chlorides, including challenging ortho-substituted benzylic chloride substrates. Mechanistic investigations implicate a stereoconvergent pathway involving carbon-centered radical intermediates.

<p>We report a Ni(0)-catalyzed cross coupling reaction between simple ketones and 1,3-dienes. A variety of a-allylic alkylation products were formed in an 1,2-addition manner with excellent regioselectivity. Water was found to significantly accelerate this transformation. A HO-Ni-H species generated from oxidative addition of Ni(0) to H<sub>2</sub>O is proposed to play a “dual role” in activating both the ketone and the diene substrate.</p>

P450 fatty acid decarboxylases (FADCs) have recently been attracting considerable attention owing to their one-step direct production of industrially important 1-alkenes from biologically abundant feedstock free fatty acids under mild conditions. However, attempts to improve the catalytic activity of FADCs have met with little success. Protein engineering has been limited to selected residues and small mutant libraries due to lack of an effective high-throughput screening (HTS) method. Here, we devise a catalase-deficient <i>Escherichia coli</i> host strain and report an HTS approach based on colorimetric detection of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-consumption activity of FADCs. Directed evolution enabled by this method has led to effective identification for the first time of improved FADC variants for medium-chain 1-alkene production from both DNA shuffling and random mutagenesis libraries. Advantageously, this screening method can be extended to other enzymes that stoichiometrically utilize H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> as co-substrate.
