Filed:

Aug 15, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/642101

Inventors:

Kurt Friedrich Brandstadt - Frankenmuth MI, US
Thomas Howard Lane - Midland MI, US
Richard A. Gross - Plainview NY, US

Assignee:

Dow Corning Corporation - Midland MI
Polytechnic University - Brooklyn NY

International Classification:

C07H 11/00
C08G 2/00

US Classification:

536115, 536124, 536120, 536121, 536 41, 536 171, 527300, 556479, 556465, 524492

Abstract:

Methods for forming structurally defined organosilicon carbohydrates are provided. Additionally, structurally defined organosilicon carbohydrates are provided. The structurally defined organosilicon carbohydrates may be formed by contacting a hydrolase enzyme with an organosilicon reactant and a carbohydrate reactant. The enzyme may catalyze the formation of an ester bond between carboxylic acid, ester, or amide functional groups of the organosilicon or carbohydrate reactant and alcohol functional groups of the carbohydrate or organosilicon reactant. The enzyme may catalyze the formation of an amide bond between carboxylic acid, ester, or amide functional groups of the organosilicon or carbohydrate reactant and amine functional groups of the carbohydrate or organosilicon reactant.

US Classification:

528 26, 528 41, 556439, 556440

Abstract:

Methods for forming organosilicon esters and amides are provided. Additionally, organosilicon esters and amides are provided. The organosilicon esters and amides may be formed by contacting a hydrolase enzyme with an organosilicon reactant and an organic reactant. The enzyme may catalyze the formation of an ester bond between carboxylic acid, ester, or amide functional groups of the organosilicon or organic reactant and alcohol functional groups of the organic or organosilicon reactant. The enzyme may catalyze the formation of an amide bond between carboxylic acid, ester, or amide functional groups of the organosilicon or organic reactant and amine functional groups of the organic or organosilicon reactant.
