TL;DR: A leucine dehydrogenase has been successfully altered through several rounds of protein engineering to an enantioselective amine dehydrogensase, which accepts the analogous ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), which corresponds to exchange of the carboxy group by a methyl group to produce chiral (R)-1,3-dimethylbutylamine.
Abstract: A leucine dehydrogenase has been successfully altered through several rounds of protein engineering to an enantioselective amine dehydrogenase. Instead of the wild-type α-keto acid, the new amine dehydrogenase now accepts the analogous ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), which corresponds to exchange of the carboxy group by a methyl group to produce chiral (R)-1,3-dimethylbutylamine.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the production of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) starting with fructose as substrate via acid-catalyzed formation and subsequent oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and showed that an effective separation of the oxidation catalyst from fructose in combination with extraction and derivatization of formed HMF in methyl isobutyl ketone leads to formation of FDCA as final product.
Abstract: The production of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) starting with fructose as substrate via acid-catalyzed formation and subsequent oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was investigated. It was shown that an effective separation of the oxidation catalyst from fructose in combination with extraction and derivatization of formed HMF in methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) leads to formation of FDCA as final product. Two systems were developed to realize the concept, one by phase separation with a membrane, the other by encapsulating the oxidation catalyst in silicone beads.

TL;DR: In this paper, the selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF) to furan-2,5-dicarboxaldehyde (FDA) has been studied under different conditions, in terms of reaction temperature, oxidant agent (air, oxygen and their pressure), type of solvent (water, organic), in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts based on VOPO 4 ·2H 2 O (VOP).
Abstract: The selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF) to furan-2,5-dicarboxaldehyde (FDA) has been studied under different conditions, in terms of reaction temperature, oxidant agent (air, oxygen and their pressure), type of solvent (water, organic), in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts based on VOPO 4 ·2H 2 O (VOP). The attempt of obtaining in a one-pot reaction FDA from fructose passing through HMF as an intermediate product failed both in water and in a mixed water/methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) medium. The best performances in the direct oxidation of HMF to FDA have been obtained when VOP and N , N -dimethylformamide (DMF) were used as a heterogeneous catalyst and a reaction medium, respectively, under mild conditions (100 °C and room pressure of O 2 ). Productivity up to 8.13 mmol of FDA/(g catalyst h) was achieved with 95% selectivity at low HMF conversion. The modification of the heterogeneous catalysts, obtained by partial substitution of VO 3+ with different metal cations (Fe 3+ , Cr 3+ , Ga 3+ , Mg 2+ , Cu 2+ and Pd 2+ ), did not cause any improvement on the performances in this reaction.
