Among other variables, protein source, physical state and chemical modification influence product yield and kinetics, affording the nitroaldol products in both aqueous and organic media under mild conditions. Significantly, the scale-up of the process between 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and nitromethane is successfully achieved at 1 g scale and in good yield. A comparative kinetic study with other biocatalysts shows an increase of the first-order rate constant in the order chitosan &amp;lt; gelatin &amp;lt; bovine serum albumin (BSA) &amp;lt; collagen. The results of this study indicate that simple edible gelatin can promote C-C bond forming reactions under physiological conditions, which may have important implications from a metabolic perspective.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.803

Three strategies involving different degrees of organization of the catalyst within the gel network were explored, and the results compared to those obtained in homogeneous and micellar solutions. In general, physical entrapment of both the catalyst and the substrate under optimized concentrations into several hydrogel matrices (including low-molecular-weight and biopolymer-based gels) allowed the photooxidation with conversions between 55 and 100% within 120 min (TOF similar to 0.045-0.08 min(-1); k(obs) similar to 0.011-0.028 min(-1)), albeit with first-order rates ca. 1-3-fold lower than in solution under comparable non-stirred conditions. Remarkably, the organogel made of a cyclohexane-based bisamide gelator in CH3CN not only prevented the photodegradation of the catalyst but also afforded full conversion in less than 60 min (TOF similar to 0.167 min(-1); k(obs) similar to 0.073 min(-1)) without the need of additional proton transfer mediators (e. g., thiourea) as it occurs in CH3CN solutions. In general, the gelators could be recycled without detriment to their gelation ability and reaction rates. Moreover, kinetics could be fine-tuned according to the characteristics of the gel media. For instance, entangled fibrillar networks with relatively high mechanical strength were usually associated with lower reaction rates, whereas wrinkled laminated morphologies seemed to favor the reaction. In addition, the kinetics results showed in most cases a good correlation with the aeration efficiency of the gel media.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.626

In this work, a simple, one-pot, green method for the synthesis of gold, silver, palladium, and platinum NPs by using thiol-modified silk fibroin (SF-SH) has been described. The incorporation of thiol groups into silk fibroin (SF) yields small, mono-dispersed metal nanoparticles with good colloidal stability. UV-Vis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analyses show the formation of NPs, and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) data reveal interaction of the NPs with thiol-modified SF. We also show that all the NP-SF conjugates catalyse the reduction of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol in the presence of NaBH4 at room temperature. The NP-SF conjugate materials were processed into different material formats like porous scaffolds and films without compromising their individual properties. The Au-SF-SH composite scaffold was used successfully in the heterogeneous catalysis of p-nitrophenol reduction using NaBH4 while the Ag-SF-SH conjugated film showed good antibacterial activity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">86</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.84</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maity, Sayantan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ram, Farsa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dhar, Basab Bijayi</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phosphorous-doped graphitic material as a solid acid catalyst for microwave-assisted synthesis of beta-ketoenamines and baeyer-villiger oxidation</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACS Omega</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JUL </style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15962-15972</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Synthesis of phosphorous-doped graphitic materials (P-Gc) using phytic acid as a precursor was done in a microwave oven in a cost- and time-effective green way. The material was used as a solid acid catalyst for microwave (MW)-assisted synthesis of beta-ketoenamines and Baeyer-Villiger (By) oxidation. In the case of BV oxidation, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was used as a green oxidant. For beta-ketoenamines, in most cases, 100% conversion with an similar to 95% yield was achieved in ethyl acetate medium. In solvent-free conditions, the yield of beta-ketoenamines was similar to 75%. A kinetic study suggested that the resonance stabilization of the positive reaction center happens in the transition state for beta-ketoenamine synthesis. In BV oxidation, cyclic ketones were converted to their corresponding cyclic esters in good to high yields (similar to 80% yield) in a shorter reaction time (6-20 min). As per our knowledge, this is the first report of BV oxidation catalyzed by a heteroatom-doped graphitic material. For BV oxidation, the phosphoric acid functional groups present in P-Gc might increase the electrophilicity of the carbonyl group of the ketones to compensate for the weakness of H2O2 as a nucleophile and a spiro-bisperoxide intermediate has been identified in high-resolution mass spectrometry.&lt;/p&gt;
