Article Abstract
With increasing demand for perfumes, flavors, beverages, and pharmaceuticals, the various associated industries are resorting to different approaches to enhance yields of desired compounds. The use of fixed-bed biocatalytic reactors in some of the processes for making fine chemicals will be of great value because the reaction times could be reduced substantially as well as high conversion and yields obtained. In the current study, a continuous-flow packed-bed reactor of immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B (Novozym 435) was employed for synthesis of various geraniol esters. Optimization of process parameters such as biocatalyst screening, effect of solvent, mole ratio, temperature and acyl donors was studied in a continuous-flow packed-bed reactor. Maximum conversion of ~ 87% of geranyl propionate was achieved in 15 min residence time at 70 °C using geraniol and propionic acid with a 1:1 mol ratio. Novozym 435 was found to be the most active and stable biocatalyst among all tested. Ternary complex mechanism with propionic acid inhibition was found to fit the data.

The sustainable synthesis of bio-based monomers from renewable biomass intermediates is a central goal in green chemistry and biorefinery innovation. This study introduces a synergistic catalytic-enzymatic strategy for the efficient and eco-friendly oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a key monomer for next-generation biodegradable plastics. The catalytic phase employed non-noble metal catalysts, MnO and Co-Mn supported on activated carbon (Co-Mn/AC), under mild batch reaction conditions at 90 °C.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a universal energy currency and biomarker of cellular viability, undergoes dynamic fluctuations critical for neurological health, food safety, and clinical diagnostics. Real-time monitoring of ATP in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) remains challenging due to limited sample volumes, ultralow concentrations and matrix complexity. Current analytical platforms often struggle to balance separation efficiency, detection sensitivity, and real-time capability.

We report here the continuous flow synthesis of a high-value sugar nucleotide. Immobilisation of enzymes onto solid carriers permitted transfer of the biocatalysts into packed bed reactors to realise a continuous biocatalytic platform for the synthesis of uridine diphosphate -acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) on 100 mg scale, with capacity for multiple reuses. The modular continuous flow approach described here represents a significant, up to 11-fold, improvement in space time yield (STY) when compared to batch studies, along with preventing product induced enzyme inhibition, reducing the need for an additional enzyme to break down inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi).

The depletion of fossil fuels and their associated environmental concerns necessitate the exploration of sustainable alternatives. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), a versatile platform chemical derived from biomass, holds significant potential for the production of biofuels, industrial intermediates, and polymers. This study employs a factorial experimental design to investigate the impact of fructose concentration, organic-to-aqueous phase ratio, and reaction time on 5-HMF yield using a biphasic system with a cation exchange resin catalyst.

A telescoped process under continuous flow conditions is described for the synthesis of -pyridyl-5-amino-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate derivatives catalyzed by copper salts in a packed bed reactor. The synthetic approach takes first advantage of click chemistry, specifically relying on Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), to achieve the efficient and selective assembly of a triazole ring, followed by a copper-mediated C-H activation, that substitutes an inert C-H bond with a C-N bond, providing an environmentally acceptable and cost-effective strategy for synthesizing highly functionalized organic molecules.
