In the present downstream processing of penicillin G, penicillin G is extracted from the fermentation broth with an organic solvent and purified as a potassium salt via a number of back-extraction and crystallization steps. After purification, penicillin G is hydrolyzed to 6-aminopenicillanic acid, a precursor for many semisynthetic beta-lactam antibiotics. We are studying a reduction in the number of pH shifts involved and hence a large reduction in the waste salt production. To this end, the organic penicillin G extract is directly to be added to an aqueous immobilized enzyme suspension reactor and hydrolyzed by extractive catalysis. We found that this conversion can exceed 90% because crystallization of 6-aminopenicillanic acid shifts the equilibrium to the product side. A model was developed for predicting the equilibrium conversion in batch systems containing both a water and a butyl acetate phase, with either potassium or D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine methyl ester as counter-ion of penicillin G. The model incorporates the partitioning equilibrium of the reactants, the enzymatic reaction equilibrium, and the crystallization equilibrium of 6-aminopenicillanic acid. The model predicted the equilibrium conversion of Pen G quite reasonably for different values of pH, initial penicillin G concentration and phase volume ratio. The model can be used as a tool for optimizing the enzymatic hydrolysis.
Functionalized indole and quinoline derivatives are conveniently prepared from nitrogen-tethered 2-methoxyphenols via phenyliodine(III) diacetate mediated oxidative acetoxylation, followed by a fluoride- or base-induced intramolecular nucleophilic addition reaction. This regioselective Michael-type addition step is further discussed in view of the rearrangement of orthoquinol acetate intermediates into paraquinol acetates that is sometimes observed in situ. Application of this methodology to the synthesis of a functionalized phenanthridine, and its potential for the construction of polyoxygenated lycorine-type alkaloid skeleta are here described.
The objective was to study the essential oil composition of coriander fruits in plants growing in environments differing in soil conditions and weediness level. Factorial field experiments were conducted in two locations from the Rolling Pampas, Argentina, and two coriander landraces (European and Argentinean) were tested under two levels of nitrogen fertilization and weediness. Data were evaluated with uni- and multivariate techniques. The variation in the oil composition was related to the relative proportion of the constituents and not to the presence/absence of a particular component. Weather conditions in 1997 favored linalool and camphor in both landraces. Location, fertilization, and weediness also affected the chemical profile. The European landrace showed a more stable concentration of the major components than the Argentinean landrace. These results, which show the relationships between some environmental conditions and the essential oil composition, are useful in the development of innovative strategies aimed to improve oil composition and to manage crop pests.
