Mahor, Durga (author), Cong, Zhiqi (author), Weissenborn, Martin J. (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Zhang, Wuyuan (author)The oxidation of alkanes into valuable chemical products is a vital reaction in organic synthesis. This reaction, however, is challenging, owing to the inertness of C−H bonds. Transition metal catalysts for C−H functionalization are frequently explored. Despite chemical alternatives, nature has also evolved powerful oxidative enzymes (e. g.,...review 2021

Yuan, Bo (author), Mahor, Durga (author), Fei, Qiang (author), Wever, Ron (author), Alcalde, Miguel (author), Zhang, Wuyuan (author), Hollmann, F. (author)Peroxyzymes simply use H2O2 as a cosubstrate to oxidize a broad range of inert C-H bonds. The lability of many peroxyzymes against H2O2 can be addressed by a controlled supply of H2O2, ideally in situ. Here, we report a simple, robust, and water-soluble anthraquinone sulfonate (SAS) as a promising organophotocatalyst to drive both...journal article 2020
