Specific Photobiocatalytic Oxyfunctionalization Reactions

Abstract

Turn a light on: Enantiospecific hydroxylation of nonactivated CH bonds as well as epoxidations of CC bonds are reported using a novel peroxidase from Agrocybe aegerita (AaeAPO). AaeAPO represents a more active and more versatile alternative to the current gold standard, chloroperoxidase. H2O2 was produced in situ by photocatalytic reduction of O2 using simple flavin adenine mononucleotide (FMN) catalysts.
