Application

Sodium tetraborate, also known as borax(Na2B4O7), can be employed as a catalyst:
  • In the chemoselective oxidation of alkyl and aryl sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones using H2O2 as the oxidant.
  • In the synthesis of pyridines, dienes, anilines, and dihydropyrano[3,2-c]chromenes via Knoevenagel condensation and Michael addition pathway.
  • In thiolysis of 1,2-epoxides to β-hydroxy sulfides.

Carbohydrate epimerization is an essential technology for the widespread production of rare sugars. In contrast to other enzymes, most epimerases are only active on sugars substituted with phosphate or nucleotide groups, thus drastically restricting their use. Here we show that
