Fumaric acid is widely used in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and polyester resin industries. Rhizopus oryzae is the most successful microorganism at excreting fumaric acid compared to all known natural and genetically modified organisms. It has previously been discovered that careful control of the glucose feed rate can eliminate the by-product formation of ethanol. Two key parameters affecting fumaric acid excretion were identified, namely the medium pH and the urea feed rate. A continuous fermentation with immobilised R. oryzae was utilised to determine the effect of these parameters. It was found that the selectivity for fumaric acid production increased at high glucose consumption rates for a pH of 4, different from the trend for pH 5 and 6, achieving a yield of 0.93 gg−1. This yield is higher than previously reported in the literature. Varying the urea feed rate to 0.255 mgL−1h−1 improved the yield of fumaric acid but experienced a lower glucose uptake rate compared to higher urea feed rates. An optimum region has been found for fumaric acid production at pH 4, a urea feed rate of 0.625 mgL−1h−1 and a glucose feed rate of 0.329 gL−1h−1.

In contrast to the tremendous power of Pd-based Mizoroki–Heck reactions, methods to achieve such processes with other metals, particularly Ni, are generally lacking. Herein, we delineate specific conditions that can enable cascade variants of these C–C bond forming events to proceed smoothly under Ni catalysis. Critically, these reactions work with equal facility as their Pd-initiated counterparts when conducted intramolecularly, and in many cases are devoid of any Ni–H-mediated alkene isomerization within the starting materials and/or products as has typically been observed with previous Ni-based protocols. When conducted intermolecularly, the developed variant affords unique regioselectivity in product formation, substantively favoring 6-endo additions over the more standard 5-exo counterparts observed under Pd-based conditions. Finally, applications of the developed procedures to two different natural product syntheses are described

The chemical vapor deposition of hexagonal boron nitride layers from BCl3 and NH3 is highly beneficial for scalable synthesis with high controllability, yet multiple challenges such as corrosive reaction or by-product formation have hindered its successful demonstration. Here, we report the synthesis of polycrystalline hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) layers on copper foil using BCl3 and NH3. The sequential pulse injection of precursors leads to the formation of atomically thin h-BN layers with a polycrystalline structure. The relationship between growth temperature and crystallinity of the h-BN film is investigated using transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Investigation on the initial growth mode achieved by the suppression of precursor supply revealed the formation of triangular domains and existence of preferred crystal orientations. The possible growth mechanism of h-BN in this sequential-pulsed CVD is discussed.

Abstract Undercoordinated, bridging O-atoms (Obr) are highly active as H-acceptors in alkane dehydrogenation on IrO2(110) surfaces but transform to HObr groups that are inactive toward hydrocarbons. The low C-H activity and high stability of the HObr groups cause the kinetics and product selectivity during CH4 oxidation on IrO2(110) to depend sensitively on the availability of Obr atoms prior to the onset of product desorption. From temperature programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS) and kinetic simulations, we identified two Obr-coverage regimes that distinguish the kinetics and product formation during CH4 oxidation on IrO2(110). Under excess Obr conditions, when the initial Obr coverage is greater than that needed to oxidize all the CH4 to CO2 and HObr groups, complete CH4 oxidation is dominant and produces CO2 in a single TPRS peak between 450 and 500 K. However, under Obr-limited conditions, nearly all the initial Obr atoms are deactivated by conversion to HObr or abstracted after only a fraction of the initially adsorbed CH4 oxidizes to CO2 and CO below 500 K. Thereafter, some of the excess CHx groups abstract H and desorb as CH4 above ~500 K while the remainder oxidize to CO2 and CO at a rate that is controlled by the rate at which Obr atoms are regenerated from HObr during the formation of CH4 and H2O products. We also show that chemisorbed O-atoms (“on-top O”) on IrO2(110) enhance CO2 production below 500 K by efficiently abstracting H from Obr atoms and thereby increasing the coverage of Obr atoms available to completely oxidize CHx groups at low temperature. Our results provide new insights for understanding factors which govern the kinetics and selectivity during CH4 oxidation on IrO2(110) surfaces.
