Mondal S, Deiana L, Cordova A, Wu H, Backvall J
Chem Commun (Camb) . 2025 Jan; 61(13):2802-2805. PMID: 39836020
Herein, we present a highly efficient allylic substitution of carbonates with Grignard reagents using a reusable cellulose-supported nanocopper catalyst. This approach highlights the first instance of heterogeneous catalysis for the...

Rafi A, Deiana L, Alimohammadzadeh R, Engstrand P, Granfeldt T, Nystrom S, et al.
ACS Sustain Resour Manag . 2025 Jan; 1(12):2554-2563. PMID: 39741584
There is a growing demand for the utilization of sustainable materials, such as cellulose-based alternatives, over fossil-based materials. However, the inherent drawbacks of cellulosic materials, such as extremely low wet...

Deiana L, Avella A, Rafi A, Mincheva R, De Winter J, Lo Re G, et al.
ACS Appl Polym Mater . 2024 Sep; 6(17):10414-10422. PMID: 39296488
Herein, we describe a solvent-free bioinspired approach for the polymerization of ethylene brassylate. Artificial plant cell walls (APCWs) with an integrated enzyme were fabricated by self-assembly, using microcrystalline cellulose as...

Avella A, Rafi A, Deiana L, Mincheva R, Cordova A, Lo Re G
ACS Sustain Chem Eng . 2024 Jul; 12(29):10727-10738. PMID: 39055864
Ethylene brassylate is a renewable macrolactone from castor oil that can be polymerized via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) to obtain a fully biosourced biodegradable polyester. ROP mediated by organometallic catalysts leads...

Wu H, Zheng Z, Zhang K, Kajanus J, Johansson M, Cordova A, et al.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2023 Oct; 62(50):e202314512. PMID: 37899308
Classical Crabbé type S 2' substitutions of propargylic substrates has served as one of the standard methods for the synthesis of allenes. However, the stereospecific version of this transformation often...

Rafi A, Alimohammadzadeh R, Avella A, Moistlik T, Jurisoo M, Kaaver A, et al.
Sci Rep . 2023 Sep; 13(1):14730. PMID: 37679445
Celulose nanofibers are lightweight, recycable, biodegradable, and renewable. Hence, there is a great interest of using them instead of fossil-based components in new materials and biocomposites. In this study, we...

ACS Catal . 2023 Aug; 13(15):10418-10424. PMID: 37560186
Herein, we describe efficient nanogold-catalyzed cycloisomerization reactions of alkynoic acids and allenynamides to enol lactones and dihydropyrroles, respectively (the latter via an Alder-ene reaction). The gold nanoparticles were immobilized on...

Deiana L, Rafi A, Backvall J, Cordova A
RSC Adv . 2023 Jul; 13(29):19975-19980. PMID: 37404321
Subtilisin integrated artificial plant-cell walls (APCWs) were fabricated by self-assembly using cellulose or nanocellulose as the main component. The resulting APCW catalysts are excellent heterogeneous catalysts for the asymmetric synthesis...

Zhang K, Carmo C, Deiana L, Svensson Grape E, Ken Inge A, Cordova A
Chemistry . 2023 Jul; 29(53):e202301725. PMID: 37402648
Functionalized triose-, furanose and chromane-derivatives were synthesized by the titled reactions. The sugar-assisted kinetic resolution/C-C bond-forming cascade processes generate a functionalized sugar derivative with a quaternary stereocenter in a highly...

Alimohammadzadeh R, Sanhueza I, Cordova A
Sci Rep . 2023 Feb; 13(1):3157. PMID: 36823204
Cellulose nanocrystals, which have unique properties of high aspect ratio, high surface area, high mechanical strength, and a liquid crystalline nature, constitute a renewable nanomaterial with great potential for several...
