“…Because lipases have certain advantages in pricing and thermal stability, many successful examples of alkenes epoxidation have been reported, including the synthesis of aliphatic alkene, cyclene, and vinyl aromatic compounds [ 12 , 13 ]. Although lipases have been isolated from various microbial genera, including Candida antarctica , Humicola sp., Pseudomonas sp., C. cylindracea , Aspergillus niger , Rhizopus chinensis , R. oryzae , and Rhizomucor mieheii [ 14 – 16 ] , the most widely used lipases are C. antarctica lipase B (CALB) [ 15 , 17 ]. This is due to its higher catalytic activity for "perhydrolysis" [ 18 ], that is, acting as the catalyst for chemoenzymatic epoxidation.…”

Background Existing methods for alkene epoxidation are based on lipase-catalysed perhydrolysis. However, the inactivation of the expensive lipase enzyme is problematic for enzymatic epoxidation at large scales due to the use of hydrogen peroxide and peracids at high concentrations in the reaction. The immobilisation of whole cells appears to be a promising approach to alleviate this problem. Results A green oxidation system containing hydrogen peroxide, Na3C6H5O7, an acyl donor, and glutaraldehyde (GA)-crosslinked cells of Rhizopus oryzae was developed for the epoxidation of alkenes. GA-crosslinked cells of Rhizopus oryzae were adopted as a biocatalyst into the epoxidation system. A variety of alkenes were oxidised with this system, with a 56–95% analytical yield of the corresponding epoxides. The catalytic performance of the crosslinked treated cells was substantially improved compared to that of the untreated cells and the initial reaction rate increased from 126.71 to 234.72 mmol/L/h, retaining 83% yields even after four batches of reactions. The addition of 3.5 mmol Na3C6H5O7 not only acts as an acid-trapping reagent to eliminate the negative effect of the carboxylic acid on the alkene oxide but also forms a saturated salt solution with the aqueous phase, affecting the concentration of H2O2 in the three phases and thus the epoxidation reaction. Organic solvents with a logP value > 0.68 were good at producing hydroxy peracids; however, this method is only suitable for oxidation in a two-liquid phase. Conclusions Compared with other lipase biocatalysts, the GA-crosslinked whole-cell biocatalyst is inexpensive, readily available, and highly stable. Therefore, it can be considered promising for industrial applications.
