  • In this study the enzymatic synthesis of ester-linked conjugates of amino acid and monosaccharide in pyridine was tested by the catalysis of Optimase M-440, an alkaline serine pretense. Optimase M-440 showed the higher activity in the reaction of monosaccharides which have one or more primary -OH groups. And also Optimase M-440 showed high regioselectivity; The transesterification of primary -OH group selectively occurred.

  • Phosphomolybdic acid supported on silica gel (PMA-$SiO_2$) is an efficient catalyst for the activation of TMSCN for the facile cyanosilylation of various aldehydes. Cyano transfer from TMSCN to aldehyde proceeds smoothly at rt in presence of 0.8 mol % of PMA-$SiO_2$ leading to a range of cyanosilylether in excellent yield (mostly over 93%) within short reaction time (30 min). The catalyst can be recovered and reused several times without loss of activity.

  • Various reaction conditions uding temperature, time and type and concentration of templates have been changed in order to facilely synthesize, especially with microwave (MW) heating, SAPO-34 molecular sieves. SAPO-34 molecular sieve can be synthesized rapidly with microwave irradiation from a gel containing tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) as a template. However, other several templating molecules lead to SAPO-5 molecular sieve under microwave irradiation even though SAPO-34 is obtained by conventional electric synthesis from the same reactant gels. Moreover, SAPO-34 can be obtained more easily by increasing the TEAOH or silica concentration or by increasing the reaction temperature. SAPO-34 can be obtained within 5 min in a selected condition (high temperature of 210 $^{\circ}C$) with microwave heating, which may lead to a continuous production of the important material. SAPO-34 synthesized by microwave irradiation is homogeneous and small in size and shows acidity and a stable performance in the dehydration of methanol and 2-butanol to olefins, suggesting potential applications in acid catalysis.

  • We applied methanesulfonic acid (MSA) as a green catalyst to produce levulinic acid (LA) from monomeric sugars. To optimize reaction factors and assess the effect of reciprocal interactions, a statistical experimental design was applied. Optimized result of 40.7% LA yield was obtained under the following conditions: 60 g/L galactose, 0.4 M MSA at $188^{\circ}C$ for 26.7 min. On the other hand, 66.1% LA yield was achieved under 60 g/L fructose and 0.4 M MSA at $188^{\circ}C$ for 36 min conditions. For the effect of combined severity factor on the LA yield from galactose, the LA yield showed a peaked pattern, which was linearly increased until a CSF 3.2 and then diminished with a high CSF. Moreover, it was closely fitted to a non-linear Gaussian peak pattern with a high regression value of 0.989. These results suggest that MSA and galactose, derived from marine red macro-algae, can potentially be applied for the conversion into platform chemicals.

  • Zirconium pyrithione complex was prepared by reaction of sodium-pyrithione solution and zirconyl chloride solution. The physico-chemical properties of the complex was examined by means of IR, XRD, DSC and NMR. And the stability of Zr-complex was investigated on the basis of accelerated stability analysis under conditions of temp. elevation, UV radiation and pH dependence. The result indicates that the ratio of the ligand to metal in Zr-pyrithione complex was determined 4:1, and its stability constant was $4.643{\times}10^4$. The rate order of decomposition of the complex was apparent first-order reaction of which rate constant and the decomposition rate was not only accelerated by effect of heat and UV radiation but was catalyzed by specific acid-base catalysis considered the pH dependence for the hydrolysis of the complex and the suspension was most stable over the range pH 4-8 indicating that solvent catalysis is the primary made of reaction in this region.

  • This account reports an overview of our findings in homogeneous Pd-catalyzed reactions. Herein we describe the new design in reactions of Group 14 element compounds and in homogeneous nanosize Pd catalysts. In the early stages of our study, we developed Pd-catalyzed transformations of allylic esters with disilanes, silylcyanides and acylsilanes to the corresponding silylation, cyanation and acylation products, respectively. We also developed a Pd-catalyzed three component coupling reaction of Group 14 element compounds involving 1,3-diene and acid chlorides to form β,γ-unsaturated ketone as a single product. Recently, we focus our attention on modifying the catalytic environment by nanosize Pd in order to improve the performance of Pd catalysts. These nanosystems realize efficient catalytic environment with remarkable enhancement in catalytic activity and unprecedented selectivity.

  • The preparation, characterization and drug release behaviour of drug(indomethacin) loaded Poly(L-lactic acid)(PLA), tarmarind acetate and levan acetate mircospheres were investigated. Hydrophobic tarmarind acetate and levan acetate were prepared by chemical modification of hydrophilic tarmaried gum and levan and microspheres were made by a solvent evaporation method. In the case of poly(L-lactic acid) microspheres, drug release rate was effected by polymer-drug ratios and drum release was sustained by increasing of polymer content. The yield of microspheres were effected by many factors and the mean size was below 1 $\mu$m, The IND release profiles from tarmarind acetate and levan acetate micropheres were more slightly less than ploy(L-lactic acid) microspheres.
