A chemical degradation of 3-hydroxybutyric acid

Analytical Biochemistry, 1978
Abstract A method is described for degrading 3-hydroxybutyric acid to obtain specifically and in good yield each of its carbons as CO 2 . The hydroxybutyrate is dehydrated to crotonic acid which is reduced to butyric acid. The butyric acid is then degraded stepwise utilizing the Schmidt reaction.

Preparation of alkyl (R)-(−)-3-hydroxybutyrate by acidic alcoholysis of poly-(R)-(−)-3-hydroxybutyrate

Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 2000
An efficient method for the preparation of optically active alkyl (R)-(-)-3-hydroxybutyrates by chemical depolymerization of biopolymer, poly-(R)-(-)-(3-hydroxybutyrate), was established. This method consists of simple recovery of poly-(R)-(-)-(3-hydroxybutyrate) from bacterial cells followed by acidic alcoholysis. When poly-(R)-(-)-(3-hydroxybutyrate)

Enzymatic esterification of 3-hydroxybutyric acid

Biotechnology Letters, 1993
Candida cylindracea lipase catalysed esterification of (±)-3-hydroxybutyric acid (1) with n-butanol was studied in different solvents. This provided an alternative preparative method for the versatile chiron. butyl (S)-3-hydroxybutyrate (2) via kinetic resolution of (±)-1 With toluene as the reaction medium, the enantioselection was found to be ...

Biotechnological production of (R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid monomer

Journal of Biotechnology, 2007
The escalating problems regarding the treatment of plastic waste materials have led to development of biodegradable plastics. At present, a number of aliphatic polyesters; such as poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (PHB), poly(l-lactide), polycaplolactone, poly(ethylene succinate) and poly(butylene succinate) have been developed.

Omega oxidation of fatty acids and the pathway of 3-hydroxybutyric acid formation

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1978
Abstract Pathways followed by the carbons of long chain fatty acids in their conversion to 3-hydroxybutyric acid were traced and the contribution of ω-oxidation to fatty acid oxidation was determined in the cellular environment where ketone body formation occurs.

Catalyst-free valorization of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate to crotonic acid

Reaction Chemistry & Engineering, 2021
A novel catalyst-free valorization process of PHB to CA in inert nonpolar solvents is developed. CA was obtained with a yield of 89 wt% and a purity of 91% via a simple consecutive process of pyrolysis at 210 °C and vacuum distillation at 60 °C.

Accumulation of Poly (3-Hydroxybutyric Acid) by Some Soil Streptomyces

Current Microbiology, 1999
In a limited-scale survey, 55 soil streptomycetes were screened for the accumulation of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) [PHB]. Only 18% of the isolates accumulated PHB ranging between 1.9-7.8% of the dry biomass. The promising isolate DBCC-719, identified as Streptomyces griseorubiginosus, accumulated PHB amounting to 9.5% of the mycelial dry mass in the ...
