A lipase-catalyzed enantioselective hydrolysis process under conditions of continuous in situ racemization of substrate with trioctylamine as the catalyst was developed for the production of (S)-suprofen from (R,S)-suprofen 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl thioester in isooctane. A detailed investigation of trioctylamine concentration on the

Cobalt phosphate-based organic-inorganic hybrid nanobelts were successfully synthesized in the presence of trioctylamine (TOA) via a solvothermal system. The inorganic cobalt phosphate layers and organic n-octylamine layers in this structure arranged alternately, both of which were parallel to the axial
