Tetrahydrofuran liquid temperature range

Aqueous solutions are not suitable solvents for esterifications and transesterifications, and these reactions are carried out in organic solvents of low polarity [9-12]. However, enzymes are surrounded by a hydration shell or bound water that is required for the retention of structure and catalytic activity [13]. Polar hydrophilic solvents such as DMF, DMSO, acetone, and alcohols (log P<0, where P is the partition coefficient between octanol and water) are incompatible and lead to rapid denaturation. Common solvents for esterifications and transesterifications include alkanes (hexane/log P=3.5), aromatics (toluene/2.5, benzene/2), haloalkanes (CHCI3/2, CH2CI2/I.4), and ethers (diisopropyl ether/1.9, terf-butylmethyl ether/ 0.94, diethyl ether/0.85). Exceptionally stable enzymes such as Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B) have been used in more polar solvents (tetrahydrofuran/0.49, acetonitrile/—0.33). Room-temperature ionic liquids [14—17] and supercritical fluids [18] are also good media for a wide range of biotransformations. [Pg.134]
