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.

N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylethylenediamine dioxide (TMEDAO2) was explored as a more atom economical co-oxidant for the Ley-Griffith oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes. TMEDAO2 was found to selectivity oxidise benzylic and allylic alcohols in comparable yields to that of the standard Ley-Griffith co-oxidant (NMO). Importantly TMEDAO2 facilitated tandem Ley-Griffith-Wittig reactions with stabilised ylides, in good to excellent yields, without the requirement of anhydrous conditions.
Pyridine ligands as promoters in PdII/0-catalyzed C-H olefination reactions

Commercially available pyridine ligands can significantly enhance the rate, yield, substrate scope, and site selectivity of arene C-H olefination (Fujiwara-Moritani) reactions. The use of a 1:1 ratio of Pd/pyridine proved critical to maximize reaction rates and yields.
