Nanotube-supported bioproduction of 4-hydroxy-2-butanone via in situ cofactor regeneration.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 94(5) , 1233-41, (2012)

Nicotinamide cofactor-dependent oxidoreductases have been widely employed during the bioproduction of varieties of useful compounds. Efficient cofactor regeneration is often required for these biotransformation reactions. Herein, we report the synthesis of an...

Cu(I)-catalyzed reductive aldol cyclizations: diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of beta-hydroxylactones.

Org. Lett. 7 , 4225, (2005)

[reaction: see text] Copper bisphosphine complexes catalyze the intramolecular reductive aldol reaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated esters with ketones, affording five- and six-membered beta-hydroxylactones in high stereoselectivities. Utilization of chiral non...

First experimental determination of the absolute gas-phase rate coefficient for the reaction of OH with 4-hydroxy-2-butanone (4H2B) at 294 K by vapor pressure measurements of 4H2B.

J. Phys. Chem. A 117(1) , 117-25, (2013)

The reaction of the OH radicals with 4-hydroxy-2-butanone was investigated in the gas phase using an absolute rate method at room temperature and over the pressure range 10-330 Torr in He and air as diluent gases. The rate coefficients were measured using pul...
