(author), Wever, Ron (author), Holtmann, Dirk (author), Rutjes, Floris P J T (author), Hollmann, F. (author)A catalytic, enzyme-initiated (aza-) Achmatowicz reaction is presented. The involvement of a robust vanadium-dependent peroxidase from Curvularia inaequalis allows the simple use of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and catalytic amounts of bromide.journal article 2016

Dong, J. (author), Fernandez Fueyo, E. (author), Li, Jingbo (author), Guo, Zheng (author), Renirie, Rokus (author), Wever, Ron (author), Hollmann, F. (author)The vanadium-dependent chloroperoxidase from Curvularia inaequalis is a stable and efficient biocatalyst for the hydroxyhalogenation of a broad range of alkenes into halohydrins. Up to 1 200 000 TON with 69 s−1 TOF were observed for the biocatalyst. A bienzymatic cascade to yield epoxides as reaction products is presented.journal article 2017

(author), Rother, Dörte (author), Alcalde, Miguel (author), Hollmann, F. (author)Peroxygenases offer an attractive means to address challenges in selective oxyfunctionalization chemistry. Despite this, their application in synthetic chemistry remains challenging due to their facile inactivation by the stoichiometric oxidant H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Often atom-inefficient peroxide generation systems are required, which...journal article 2018

(author)A chemoenzymatic method for the halocyclization of unsaturated alcohols and acids by using the robust V-dependent chloroperoxidase from Curvularia inaequalis (CiVCPO) as catalyst has been developed for the in situ generation of hypohalites. A broad range of halolactones and cyclic haloethers are formed with excellent performance of the...journal article 2019

Wever, Ron (author), Renirie, R. (author), Hollmann, F. (author)In this chapter the catalytic and structural properties of the vanadium chloroperoxidases will be discussed with an emphasis on their superb activity and stability under operational conditions. These properties make these enzymes attractive catalysts in organic synthesis and allow a number of applications. Some of the more recent findings are...book chapter 2020

(author)The scale-up of chemoenzymatic bromolactonization to 100 g scale is presented, together with an identification of current limitations. The preparative-scale reaction also allowed for meaningful mass balances identifying current bottlenecks of the chemoenzymatic reaction.journal article 2020

Xu, X. (author), But, A. (author), Wever, Ron (author), Hollmann, F. (author)The chemoenzymatic oxidative decarboxylation of glutamic acid to the corresponding nitrile using the vanadium chloroperoxidase from Curvularia inaequalis (CiVCPO) as HOBr generation catalysts has been investigated. Product inhibition was identified as major limitation. Nevertheless, 1630000 turnovers and k<sub>cat</sub> of 75 s<sup>−1</sup>...journal article 2020

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

Chen, Shaohang (author), Zhang, Jiaan (author), Zeng, Zhigang (author), Dai, Zongjie (author), Wang, Qinhong (author), Wever, Ron (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Zhang, W. (author)A chemoenzymatic method for the synthesis of haloethers is presented. A combination of enzymatic hypohalite synthesis with spontaneous oxidation of alkenes and nucleophilic attack by various alcohols enabled the synthesis of a wide range of haloethers. The reaction system has been characterised and current imitations have been worked out. In...journal article 2022

(author)In this contribution, we report chemoenzymatic bromodecarboxylation (Hunsdiecker-type) of α,ß-unsaturated carboxylic acids. The extraordinarily robust chloroperoxidase from Curvularia inaequalis (CiVCPO) generated hypobromite from H2O2 and bromide, which then spontaneously reacted with a broad range of unsaturated carboxylic acids and yielded...journal article 2022
