Abstract

Porcine pancreas lipase (PPL) was immobilized on magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotubes successfully for the synthesis of substituted 2H-chromenes. The catalytic activity of immobilized PPL was much higher than that of free PPL. Effects of reaction medium, temperature, and enzyme dosage were also investigated. Under optimum reaction conditions (acetylacetone (1 mmol), salicylaldehyde (1 equivalent), methanol (10 equivalent), and immobilized PPL (protein content: 30 mg; 65 °C; DMF 5 mL; 5 H), the immobilized PPL showed an excellent catalytic performance on the synthesis of substituted 2H-chromenes. Moreover, the immobilized PPL exhibited satisfactory thermostability, operational simplicity, and reusability in this reaction.
