A fungal peroxidase can oxidise tetrahydropyranes to chiral hemiacetals or lactones
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-45545-z https://www.cas.cn/syky/202402/t20240218_5005493.shtml A team at the CAS Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology has applied reaction engineering strategies using immobilized peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerita (AaeUPO) for C-H bond selective hydroxylation reaction of cyclic ether molecules in organic solvents, for the synthesis of optically pure chiral hemiacetal compounds . The immobilized peroxygenase which was already known to convert […]
