Prediction of the thermodynamic properties of aqueous metal complexes to 1000°C and 5 kb

Within the framework of a program aiming to improve the existing extractive recovery technology of fermentation products, the state of the art is critically reviewed. The acids under consideration are propionic, lactic, pyruvic, succinic, fumaric, maleic, malic, itaconic, tartaric, citric, and isocitric, all obtained by the aerobic fermentation of glucose via the glycolytic pathway and glyoxylate bypass. With no exception, it is the undissociated monomeric acid that is extracted into carbon-bonded and phosphorus-bonded oxygen donor extractants. In the organic phase, the acids are usually dimerized. The extractive transfer process obeys the Nernst law, and the measured partition coefficients range from about 0.003 for aliphatic hydrocarbons to about 2 to 3 for aliphatic alcohols and ketones to about 10 or more for organophosphates. Equally high distribution ratios are measured when long-chain tertiary amines are employed as extractants, forming bulky salts preferentially soluble in the organic phase.

Inorganic and bioinorganic solvent exchange mechanisms.

To obtain an indication of the tendencies of amino acids to leave water and enter a truly nonpolar condensed phase, distribution coefficients between dilute solution in water and dilute solution in wet cy- clohexane have been determined for each of the common amino acid side chains at pH 7; they are found to be closely related to the inside-outside distributions of the side chains observed in globular proteins. There was no evidence that excess water enters cyclohexane in association with these solutes. Cyclohexane-to-water distribution coefficients can be combined with vapor-to-water distribution coefficients reported earlier to yield vapor-to-cyclohexane distribution coefficients. Vapor-to-cyclohexane distribution coefficients provide an experimental index of susceptibility to attraction by dispersion forces, and the corresponding free energies are found to be linearly related to side-chain surface areas. Observations using different solvents and variously substituted side chains suggest that alcohols such as 1-octanol exert a specific attraction on the side chain of tryptophan. When less polar phases are used as a reference, leucine, isoleucine, valine, phenylalanine, and methionine are found to be more hydrophobic than tryptophan.

Comparing the polarities of the amino acids: side-chain distribution coefficients between the vapor phase, cyclohexane, 1-octanol, and neutral aqueous solution

Asymmetric hydrogenation of acetophenone with trans-RuH(η1-BH4)[(S)-tolbinap][(S,S)-dpen] (TolBINAP = 2,2‘-bis(di-4-tolylphosphino)-1,1‘-binaphthyl; DPEN = 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine) in 2-propanol gives (R)-phenylethanol in 82% ee. The reaction proceeds smoothly even at an atmospheric pressure of H2 at room temperature and is further accelerated by addition of an alkaline base or a strong organic base. Most importantly, the hydrogenation rate is initially increased to a great extent with an increase in base molarity but subsequently decreases. Without a base, the rate is independent of H2 pressure in the range of 1−16 atm, while in the presence of a base, the reaction is accelerated with increasing H2 pressure. The extent of enantioselection is unaffected by hydrogen pressure, the presence or absence of base, the kind of base and coexisting metallic or organic cations, the nature of the solvent, or the substrate concentrations. The reaction with H2/(CH3)2CHOH proceeds 50 times faster than that with D2/(...

Ultrasonic absorption spectra of cryptand 221 (4,7,13,16,21-pentaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo[8.8.5]tricosane) have been measured over the frequency range from 5 to 290 MHz at various concentrations and temperatures in dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, and acetonitrile. A single relaxation process has been observed and interpreted by the conformational equilibrium between two configurations of the cryptand
