In order to significantly improve the biosynthesis of acyl-L-carnitines catalyzed by lipase, there must be an efficient and suitable reaction medium that is not only polar but also hydrophobic. [Bmim]PF6, which satisfies the above two requirements, was applied as the medium. The optimal reaction conditions were: for isovaleryl-L-carnitine, 0.22aW, 200mg molecular sieves, 60ºC, 4:1 of molar ratio (fatty acid:L-carnitine), 150rpm and 60h; for octanoyl-L-carnitine and palmitoyl-L-carnitine, 0.22aW, 250 mg molecular sieves, 5:1 of molar ratio (fatty acid:L-carnitine), 200rpm, 48h, 60ºC (octanoyl-L-carnitine) and 65ºC (palmitoyl-L-carnitine). Their overall yields could reach 59.14%, 90.79% and 98.03%, respectively. The yields of isovaleryl-L-carnitine, octanoyl-L-carnitine and palmitoyl-L-carnitine in [Bmim]PF6 were 16.21%, 73.67% and 44.22 % more than those in acetonitrile, respectively. [Bmim]PF6 as the medium was better than acetonitrile. It could not only enhance the yields of acyl-L-carnitines, but also protect the lipase activity.

New Bronsted acidic ionic liquid, 1-carboxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate [AcMI]HSO4, has two acidic sites -COOH and HSO4 -. It has been synthesized by three steps. First, 1-carboxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [AcMI]Cl was prepared by alkylation of 1- methylimidazole with chloroacetic acid (molar ratio is 1.5:1) under microwave irradiation in 6 min (84 % isolated yield). Then, zwitter ion 1-carboxylatmethyl-3-methylimidazolium was obtained by using Ag2O to remove ion chloride Cl- from [AcMI]Cl. At last, concentrated sulfuric acid (98 %) was added into zwitter ion to give 1-carboxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate (yield 96 %). This ionic liquid used as a recyclabe catalyst for the esterification of isopropanol and chloroacetic acid. The optimal reaction conditions were obtained as follows: isopropanol: chloroacetic acid:[AcMI]HSO4 are 1.3:1:0.2, reaction time for 10 min at 60 oC under microvave irradiation. The yield of isopropyl chloroacetate was 86 %. This ionic liquid was removed from ester easily, recovered and recycled without loss of activity.

This study investigated the optimal reaction conditions for biodiesel production from soursop (Annona muricata) seeds. A high oil yield of 29.6% (w/w) could be obtained from soursop seeds. Oil extracted from soursop seeds was then converted into biodiesel through two-step transesterification process. A highest biodiesel yield of 97.02% was achieved under optimal acid-catalyzed esterification conditions (temperature: 65 °C, 1% H2SO4, reaction time: 90 min, and a methanol:oil molar ratio: 10:1) and optimal alkali-catalyzed transesterification conditions (temperature: 65 °C, reaction time: 30 min, 0.6% NaOH, and a methanol:oil molar ratio: 8:1). The properties of soursop biodiesel were determined and most were found to meet the European standard EN 14214 and American Society for Testing and Materials standard D6751. This study suggests that soursop seed oil is a promising biodiesel feedstock and that soursop biodiesel is a viable alternative to petrodiesel.

The utilisation of an ionic liquid-[bmim][BF4] as both reaction medium and promoter for the reaction between aldehyde and 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-2-one is described. Without any added catalyst, this reaction was realised efficiently to give arylbispyranylmethane derivatives in high yields. Alternatively, when this reaction was carried out in the presence of acetic anhydride, fused pyran derivatives were obtained. These two novel procedures have advantages such as an environmentally benign nature, high efficiency, simple operation process and mild reaction conditions. As an application, these procedures were used in the preparation of novel 5-substituted pyrimidine nucleoside derivatives with potential antiviral activities.

Biodiesel was produced from high free fatty acid (FFA)Jatropha curcasoil (JCO) by two-stage process in which esterification was performed by Brønsted acidic ionic liquid 1-(1-butylsulfonic)-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BSMIM]Cl) followed by KOH catalyzed transesterification. Maximum FFA conversion of 93.9% was achieved and it reduced from 8.15 wt% to 0.49 wt% under the optimum reaction conditions of methanol oil molar ratio 12 : 1 and 10 wt% of ionic liquid catalyst at 70°C in 6 h. The ionic liquid catalyst was reusable up to four times of consecutive runs under the optimum reaction conditions. At the second stage, the esterified JCO was transesterified by using 1.3 wt% KOH and methanol oil molar ratio of 6 : 1 in 20 min at 64°C. The yield of the final biodiesel was found to be 98.6% as analyzed by NMR spectroscopy. Chemical composition of the final biodiesel was also determined by GC-MS analysis.

A optimized synthesis of N-alkyl, N,N-dialkyl- and N-cycloalkyl-O-isobutyl thioncarbamates by aminolysis of sodium isobutylxanthogenic acid (NaiBXAc) and primary, secondary and cycloalkyl amines was developed at laboratory scale and applied at semi-industrial level. Studies on dependence of N-n-propyl-O-isopropylthiocarbamate yield and purity with respect to reaction parameters: reaction time and molar ratio of n-propylamine and NaiBXAc, were performed. In such way, optimal reaction conditions for synthesis of N-alkyl, N,N-dialkyl- and N-cycloalkyl-O-isobutyl thioncarbamates, by aminolysis of NaiBXAc, were established. Also, comparative results of thioncarbamates synthesis starting from potassium isobutyl xanthate (KiBX) and corresponding amines in presence of different oxidants: hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite and new oxidative agent potassium peroxodisulfate were evaluated. Synthesized compounds have been fully characterized by FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR and MS data, elemental analysis and purity have been determined by gas chromatographic method (GC). According to our knowledge, ten synthesized thioncarbamates are for the first time characterized. Synthesized compounds could be used as selective reagents for flotation of copper and zinc ores. The presented methods offer several benefits, namely, high product yields and purity, simple operation, mild reaction conditions without use of hazardous organic solvents, while some of them could be implemented on industrial scale production.

Iodo-transformations using the reagent system I2/H2O2 were studied in the water miscible ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate (bmimBF4) and in water immiscible IL, 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium hexafluorophosphate (bmimPF6). Two different forms of H2O2 as mediators of iodination were investigated, namely 30% aq. H2O2 and urea-H2O2 (UHP) in solid form. The role of the oxidant during the course of a reaction could be distinguished based on the amount of reagent required for the most efficient transformation. Two types of iodo-functionalizations through an electrophilic process were observed depending on the structure of the substrates. Whereas ring iodination took place in the case of dimethoxy- and trimethoxy-benzenes, with arylalkyl ketones the alkyl group α to the carbonyl was regioselectively iodinated. The results were further evaluated in comparison with iodination using the reagent system I2/H2O2 in water as medium, and under solvent-free reaction conditions, in terms of efficiency, selectivity, mechanism, and the ‘green’ aspects. The reusability/recycling of water immiscible bmimPF6 was investigated for 1,3,5-trimethoxy benzene (1b), which required a 1/0.5/0.6 molar ratio of substrat/I2/oxidant, and for 1,2,3-trimethoxy benzene (1f), which required a 1/1/1 ratio for complete iodine introduction. In addition, the efficiency of iodination was tested by varying the substrates, and employing the recycled hydrophobic IL bmimPF6.

Vinyl stearate was added to enzymatic transesterification of (−)-Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) to enhance its lipophilicity and antioxidant ability in a non-aqueous system. The lipase DF “Amano” 15 was used as the catalyst. The optimal reaction conditions were: acetonitrile as the solvent, the molar ratio of vinyl stearate: EGCG as 3:1, an enzyme amount of 4.0% (ratio of substrate mass), and a reaction temperature and time of 50 °C and 96 h, respectively, achieving 65.2% EGCG conversion. HPLC–MS and NMR were used to determine the structure of EGCG stearyl derivative (3″,5″-2-O-stearyl-EGCG). The lipophilicity of EGCG stearyl derivatives (3.49 ± 0.34) was higher (5.06 times) than that of the parent EGCG (0.69 ± 0.08). Furthermore, EGCG stearyl derivatives had excellent lipid oxidation compared with BHT, BHA, and parent EGCG. The POVs of soybean oil with EGCG stearyl derivatives (18.17 ± 0.92 mEq/kg) were significantly reduced (by 62.5%) at 21 d compared with those of EGCG (48.50 ± 1.23 mEq/kg). These results indicate that EGCG derivatives have broad antioxidant application prospects in lipophilic environments/high-fat food.

The article presents the results of cycloalkylation of phenol with ethyl cyclohexane- and 4-methylcyclohexenecarboxylic esters in the presence of a zeolite-Y catalyst impregnated with phosphoric acid. It has been established that to perform the cycloalkylation of phenol with ethyl cyclohexenecarboxylic acid in the presence of a zeolite-Y catalyst impregnated with orthophosphoric acid, the optimal conditions are: temperature 120 °С, reaction time 5 h, molar ratio of phenol to ether 1 : 1 mol/mol. And amount of catalyst is 10% for taken phenol. The yield of the target product was 74.7% of the theory for taken phenol, and selectivity - 93.8% for the target products. It was found that under optimal reaction conditions cycloalkylation (temperature 110 °C, reaction time 4 h, the ratio of phenol to ether 1 : 1, the amount of catalyst 7%) of phenol with ethyl 4-methylcyclohexenecarboxylic acid yield of ethyl 4 (4-hydroxyphenyl) -4'-methylcyclohexane-carboxylic) acid was 78.3% of the theory per phenol taken, and the selectivity was 95.7% for the desired product. The synthesis of aminomethyl derivatives of 4-hydroxyphenylcyclohexanecarboxylic acids in the presence of formalin and aniline was also carried out. As a result of aminomethylation, ethyl esters of 4 (4-hydroxy-3-phenylaminobenzyl) cyclohexane- and 4 (4-hydroxy-3-phenylaminobenzyl) -4'-methylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid were obtained. The yields of the target products were 67.3 and 71.7%, respectively, from the theory on taken ether. The structure and composition of the products were determined using IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. And the purity of the products obtained was studied by chromatographic analysis. Ethyl esters of 4 (4-hydroxy-3-phenylaminobenzyl) cyclohexane- and 4 (4-hydroxy-3-phenylaminobenzyl) -4'-methylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid can be used as an antioxidant to diesel fuel and turbine oil T-46.
