  2. 1. Lipase catalysed reactions of terpenoids : formation of hemiacetal esters : resolution of cryptone and its transformation to cadinenes

    Author : Dan Isaksson; Fredrik Almqvist; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; terpenoid; lipase; resolution; hemiacetal; hemiacetal ester; enantioselective; synthesis; cryptone; cadinene; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : During attempted enzyme-catalysed resolution of sterically hindered secondary alcohols, hemiacetals and their esters were unexpectedly detected. Hemiacetal esters are reactive compounds that decompose to alcohol, aldehyde and acid under ordinary work-up conditions i.e. in contact with water, acid, or silica gel. READ MORE

  4. 2. Biotransformations of Turpentine Constituents : Oxygenation and Esterification

    Author : Marica Lindmark-Henriksson; KTH; []
    Keywords : Picea abies; Pinaceae; Essential oils composition; Terpene alcohol; Hemiacetal; Hemiacetal ester; TMP-turpentine; Monoterpene; alpha-pinene; beta-pinene; Limonene; Verbenol; Pinocarveol; Borneol; Myrtenol; Suspension cell culture; Biotransformation; ;

    Abstract : This thesis describes methods to obtain value–addedcompounds from TMP-turpentine obtained from the spruce, Piceaabies. The methodology focuses on biotransformations using twoapproaches: an oxygenation approach (i.e. oxygenation ofterpene hydrocarbons by cell cultures) and an esterificationapproach (i. READ MORE

  5. 3. Responsive Molecular Systems through Dynamic Covalent Chemistry

    Author : Antanas Karalius; Zoltan Szabo; Stefan Matile; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stimuli-responsiveness; dynamic covalent reactions; systems chemistry; constitutional dynamics; non-equilibrium systems; nitroaldol reaction; dynamers; reversible polymerization; boronate ester; imine ligand; metal coordination; self–assembly; emergent properties; network topology.; stimuli-responsivitet; dynamiska kovalenta reaktioner; systemkemi; konstitutionell dynamik; icke-jämviktssystem; nitroaldolreaktion; dynamerer; reversibel polymerisation; boronester; iminligand; metallkoordination; själv-organisation; emergenta egenskaper; nätverkstopologi.; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Nature tends to inspire research in chemistry. Systems that emerge from molecules interacting via reaction networks is something that life has mastered over the course of evolution in order to produce complexity. Dynamic reactions are key in systems chemistry, where reaction networks give rise to complex, emergent behavior. READ MORE

  6. 4. Exploring Conjugate Addition Activity in Pseudozyma antarctica Lipase B

    Author : Maria Svedendahl; Per Berglund; Olof Ramström; Amelie Eriksson Karlström; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Candida antarctica lipase B · conjugate addition · enzyme catalysis · enzyme catalytic promiscuity · molecular modeling; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : Multifunctional enzymes have alternative functions or activities, known as “moonlighting” or “promiscuous”, which are often hidden behind a native enzyme activity and therefore only visible under special environmental conditions. In this thesis, the active-site of Pseudozyma (formerly Candida) antarctica lipase B was explored for a promiscuous conjugate addition activity. READ MORE
