In this study, an efficient chemo-enzymatic protocol was developed to produce 3-acetamido-5-acetylfuran (3A5AF) from chitin resources. The optimal conditions for the conversion of GlcNAc to 3A5AF were determined, resulting in a high molar yield of 56.66%. The catalytic agent NH4SCN showed good recyclability and the scalability of the preparation process was successful. This new protocol offers a sustainable and green method for converting chitin resources into 3A5AF.
In this study, efficient production of the platform chemical 3-acetamido-5-acetylfuran (3A5AF) from chitin resources via a chemo-enzymatic protocol was investigated. Initially, chitinolytic enzyme was used to convert chitin into N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) using an affinity adsorption-enzymatic reaction integrated approach. Then, the obtained GlcNAc was used to produce 3A5AF using screened ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN) as the catalyst. The optimal conditions for converting GlcNAc into 3A5AF were determined at a temperature of 180 degrees C, solvent of DMAc, a molar ratio of GlcNAc to NH4SCN of 2:1, addition of CaCl22H2O, a molar ratio of GlcNAc to CaCl2.2H2O of 1:1 and a reaction time of 10 min, resulting in 3A5AF with a molar yield of 56.66%. The NH4SCN showed good recyclability within five cycles. Furthermore, upon scaling up of the 3A5AF preparation, a good yield was still maintained. Additionally, 99% pure 3A5AF needle-shaped crystals were obtained with 34 wt% yield by crystallisation purification. This new chemo-enzymatic protocol provides a good option to convert chitin resources into 3A5AF.
