Methanol as a reaction medium and reagent in substrate reactions of rhodium porphyrins.

5 Sep 2009 Methanol solutions of rhodium(III) tetra(p-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin [(TSPP)Rh(III)] have a hydrogen ion dependent equilibrium between bis-methanol, monomethoxy monomethanol, and bis-methoxy complexes. Reactions of dihydrogen (D(2)) with solutions ... Read more...

Novel and direct transformation of methyl ketones or carbinols to primary amides by employing aqueous ammonia.

Sep 2009 A novel and direct transformation of aryl, heteroaryl, vinyl, or ethynyl methyl ketones or carbinols to corresponding primary amides has been developed. An iodine-NH(3).H(2)O system was proven to be efficient for this reaction and afforded the ... Read more...

Fed-batch methanol feeding strategy for recombinant protein production by Pichia pastoris in the presence of co-substrate sorbitol.

30 Aug 2009 Batch-wise sorbitol addition as a co-substrate at the induction phase of methanol fed-batch fermentation by Pichia pastoris (Mut(+)) was proposed as a beneficial recombinant protein production strategy and the metabolic responses to methanol feeding ... Read more...
