Application

  • Development of a mixed solvent system for the efficient resolution of (R, S)-2-octanol catalyzed by magnetite-immobilized lipase: This study presents a novel solvent system enhancing the enantioselectivity and activity of lipase in the resolution of 2-octanol, a key intermediate in synthesizing chiral building blocks used in drug development (Liu et al., 2014).
  • Efficient Kinetic Resolution of (R,S)-2-Octanol Catalyzed by Magnetite-Immobilized Yarrowia lipolytica Lipase in Mixed Ionic Liquids: This research explores using ionic liquids with immobilized lipase for resolving 2-Octanol, crucial for producing enantiopure substances in pharmacological synthesis (Liu et al., 2014).
  • Effect of hydrazyl radical on the selectivity of γ-alumina with different sizes of pores for dehydration of 2-octanol through radical elimination mechanism: Investigates the interaction between hydrazyl radicals and 2-octanol on γ-alumina, relevant for understanding catalytic mechanisms in material science (Alidoust et al., 2023).
  • Process hazard evaluation for catalytic oxidation of 2-octanol with hydrogen peroxide using calorimetry techniques: Assesses the safety and kinetic parameters of 2-octanol oxidation, important for chemical process design in industrial and academic settings (Sun et al., 2019).
  • Enhancing the resolution of (R, S)-2-octanol catalyzed by magnetic cross-linked lipase aggregates using an alternating magnetic field: Describes a method to improve the enantioselective resolution of 2-Octanol using magnetic fields, potentially useful for scaling up chiral resolutions in pharmaceutical manufacturing (Liu et al., 2015).
