Glycolic acid (GA), as important building block of biodegradable polymers, has been synthesized for the first time in excellent yields at room temperature by selective oxidation of 1,3-dihyroxyacetone (DHA) using a cheap supported Cu/Al2O3 catalyst with single active CuII species. By combining EPR spin-trapping and operando ATR-IR experiments, different mechanisms for the co-synthesis of GA, formates, and formamides have been derived, in which .OH radicals formed from H2O2 by a Fenton-like reaction play a key role.

We investigated Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO)-mediated synthesis of alkyl formate esters, which are important flavor and fragrance products. A recombinant fungal BVMO from Aspergillus flavus was found to transform a selection of aliphatic aldehydes into alkyl formates with high regioselectivity. Near complete conversion of 10 mm octanal was achieved within 8 h with a regiomeric excess of ～80 %. Substrate concentration was found to affect specific activity and regioselectivity of the BVMO, as well as the rate of product autohydrolysis to the primary alcohol. More than 80 % conversion of 50 mm octanal was reached after 72 h (TTN nearly 20 000). Biotransformation on a 200 mL scale under unoptimized conditions gave a space-time yield (STY) of 4.2 g L?1 d?1 (3.4 g L?1 d?1 extracted product).
Nickel-catalyzed hydrosilylation of CO2 in the Presence of Et3B for the synthesis of formic acid and related formates

The reaction of CO2 with Et3SiH catalyzed by the nickel complex [(dippe)Ni(μ-H)]2 (1) afforded the reduction products Et3SiOCH2OSiEt3 (12%), Et 3SiOCH3 (3%), and CO, which were characterized by standard spectroscopic methods. Part of the generated CO was found as the complex [(dippe)Ni(CO)]2 (2), which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. When the same reaction was carried out in the presence of a Lewis acid, such as Et3B, the hydrosilylation of CO2 efficiently proceeded to give the silyl formate (Et3SiOC(O)H) in high yields (85-89%), at 80 C for 1 h. Further reactivity of the silyl formate to yield formic acid, formamides, and alkyl formates was also investigated.
