Water-Soluble Anthraquinone Photocatalysts Enable Methanol-Driven Enzymatic Halogenation and Hydroxylation Reactions

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...
