The esterification of cinnamic acid has been deeply investigated using ethanol as nucleophile and Candida antarctica lipase type B (CAL-B) as suitable biocatalyst. Special attention has been paid to the role that the solvent plays in the production of ethyl cinnamate. Therefore, volatile organic solvents and deep eutectic mixtures were employed in order to find optimal reaction conditions. Once that hexane was selected as the solvent of choice, other parameters that affect the enzyme activity were investigated in order to produce ethyl cinnamate with excellent yield. The CAL-B loading, nucleophile equivalents, temperature and reaction time have been identified as key parameters in the enzyme efficiency, and the potential of lipase-catalysed esterification has been finally exploited to produce a series of ethyl esters with different pattern substitutions on the aromatic ring.

We have developed hypervalent iodine(iii) induced oxidative olefination of primary and secondary benzylamines using 2C-Wittig reagents, which provides easy access to α,β-unsaturated esters. Mild reaction conditions, good to excellent yields with high (E) selectivity, and a broad substrate scope are the key features of this reaction. We have successfully carried out the gram-scale synthesis of α,β-unsaturated esters.

This study shows that phosphorus sources can be recycled using the appropriate fluorous phosphine in the Wittig reaction. The designed fluorous phosphine, which has an ethylene spacer between its phosphorus atom and the perfluoroalkyl group, was synthesized from air-stable phosphine reagents. The synthesized phosphine can be used for the Wittig reaction process to obtain various alkenes in adequate yields and stereoselectivity. The concomitantly formed fluorous phosphine oxide was extracted from the reaction mixture using a fluorous biphasic system. The fluorous phosphine was regenerated by reducing the fluorous phosphine oxide with diisobutylaluminum hydride. Finally, a series of gram scale phosphorus recycling processes were performed, which included the Wittig reaction, separation, reduction, and reuse.
