Sažetak
The role of natural fruit juice in organic synthesis has attracted the interest of chemists, especially in the field of green chemistry. In recent years, research has focused on finding more environmentally friendly catalysts as a replacement for toxic and expensive catalysts used so far. Much attention is paid to chemical reactions in which plant cell cultures and parts of plants are used as biocatalysts. An example of finding an alternative is the use of fruit juice as a homogeneous catalyst for various transformations of simple and complex molecules (creation of C-C bonds, C-N and splitting of C-O and C-N bonds). There are many advantages to using this type of biocatalyst. Some of them are that fruit is cheap and easily available, and the juice can be easily extracted and has an ecologically benign character. The use of fruit juice as a natural biocatalyst ensures high selectivity, in mild reaction conditions in an environmentally friendly synthesis. The use of different juices such as lemon, pineapple and coconut is being tested. Lemon juice has found application in the laboratory synthesis of triazole and the Knoevenagel condensation reaction. Pineapple juice was tested for the preparation of dihydropyrimidinone, and coconut juice in the hydrolysis of esters, amides and anilides. Although previous research on the use of fruit juices and findings have not found its application in the industrial synthesis of natural products or complex synthetic molecules, it is believed that in the future the possible use of fruit juices in organic synthesis and transformation will attract many researchers.
