Replacing polar aprotic solvents with water in organic synthesis

Feng Gao et al.

Summary: Contrary to the risks associated with traditional polar aprotic solvents, water has been considered an ideal alternative in organic synthesis due to its abundant supply and environmental compatibility. However, challenges such as low solubility of organic compounds and instability of water-incompatible catalysts hinder its practical use as a reaction medium. This review summarizes strategies to address these issues, including the use of task-specific surfactant-based catalysts and water-containing cosolvents, which offer a promising future for replacing hazardous polar aprotic solvents with water. Additionally, innovative technologies like biomimetic catalysis and continuous-flow reactions may pave the way for large-scale adoption of water as a solvent.

A review of bio-refining process intensification in catalytic conversion reactions, separations and purifications of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural

Jernej Slak et al.

Summary: This review explores the utilization of process intensification (PI) techniques in the biorefining industry for 5-HMF and FUR production and purification, highlighting the potential of reactive extraction in microreactors and other approaches. While mineral acid-catalyzed aqueous systems yield the highest product yields, their purification and recycling are costly and laborious. Solid-acid catalysts in biphasic solvent systems show promise, with NaCl improving extraction power and selectivity. The pervaporation assisted continuous membrane reactor holds potential for large-scale FUR production.

Tuning the size of all-HPMA polymeric micelles fabricated by solvent extraction

Yan Wang et al.

Summary: The size of polymeric micelles can be easily adjusted by altering the formulation properties and processing parameters. The molecular weight ratio of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic block, presence of homopolymers, and choice of solvents all influence the micelle size. The use of tetrahydrofuran and acetone as solvents results in larger micelles, while the addition of dimethylformamide to an aqueous solution and faster mixing using microfluidics promotes the formation of smaller micelles.

Design of Three-Dimensional Covalent Organic Framework Membranes for Fast and Robust Organic Solvent Nanofiltration

Xiansong Shi et al.

Summary: This article introduces the application of three-dimensional covalent organic framework membranes in organic solvent nanofiltration by designing the membranes through moderated interfacial crystallization. The nanoporous supports act as moderators, allowing the crystallization of the membranes to form sub-nanometer channels with high stability and selectivity. Additionally, the membrane demonstrates excellent practicality in purifying active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Revisiting the alkali hydrolysis of polyamide nanofiltration membranes

Manas Ranjan Puhan et al.

Summary: This study revisited the alkali hydrolysis post-treatment of a polyamide nanofiltration membrane. It was found that the post-treatment increased the pure water permeance without affecting solute rejection, possibly due to the physical restructuring of the polyamide layer or the restructuring of the support layer and interface.

Overcoming the permeability-selectivity trade-off of desalination membranes via controlled solvent activation

Min Gyu Shin et al.

Summary: A facile solvent activation method has been developed to enhance the desalination performance of reverse osmosis membranes. By carefully controlling the solvency power, the activation process significantly improved water permeance while maintaining salt rejection levels. Commercial membranes treated with the optimized activation protocol showed dramatically enhanced performance, surpassing conventional trade-offs between permeability and selectivity.
