“…We selected semi-hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY, an alkyne alcohol) as a model molecule for liquid-phase semi-hydrogenation. This molecule is widely studied, being an important intermediate in vitamin synthesis and a molecule that is representative of many industrial substrates 6,[41][42][43][44][45] . Importantly, MBY is more representative of fine chemicals having branching and a polar hydroxyl group.…”

“…Pantothenyl alcohol (panthenol), which itself has no vitamin activity but is quantitatively converted to pantothenic acid in animal and human body [672], is manufactured by chemical synthesis using (R)-pantolactone and 3-amino-1-propanol as starting materials [671,738]. Significant efforts have been devoted to development of microbial fermentation for production of pantothenic acid [171,739,740]. The main advantage of that approach is the direct formation of the desired stereoisomeric form, (R)-pantothenic acid [672].…”

This review summarizes the current knowledge on essential vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B5. These B-complex vitamins must be taken from diet, with the exception of vitamin B3, that can also be synthetized from amino acid tryptophan. All of these vitamins are water soluble, which determines their main properties, namely: they are partly lost when food is washed or boiled since they migrate to the water; the requirement of membrane transporters for their permeation into the cells; and their safety since any excess is rapidly eliminated via the kidney. The therapeutic use of B-complex vitamins is mostly limited to hypovitaminoses or similar conditions, but, as they are generally very safe, they have also been examined in other pathological conditions. Nicotinic acid, a form of vitamin B3, is the only exception because it is a known hypolipidemic agent in gram doses. The article also sums up: (i) the current methods for detection of the vitamins of the B-complex in biological fluids; (ii) the food and other sources of these vitamins including the effect of common processing and storage methods on their content; and (iii) their physiological function.
